Old refrigerators and stoves, rotting wood, sheet rock, and vegetation make up the mammoth amount of Superstorm Sandy debris waiting to be hauled off Fire Island, the 32-mile-long barrier island east of New York City that is a vacation destination for tens of thousands every summer.
Homeowners and businesses are anxious to prepare — and repair — ahead of the vacation season but one visitor’s planned arrival is creating an even more pressing deadline.

Some treehugger counted 8,000 pipping ploovers... ah good. . . that is more than double the 3200 such birds reproted by a Boston Glob writer in 2011. Talk about a resurrgence in population. . . The right whales could take a lesson from these birds so that the 350 behemoths that were floating around New England waters four or five years ago would now be up to 800 or 900.
