John Francis takes a friend’s six-month-old Tea Cup Yorkie named Daisy for her first kayak ride in Accabonac Harbor. The pup is in Francis’s hand-made “Daisy Kayak Basket,” which she loved. Next project is to teach her how to paddle. (John Francis, sent via snail mail.)

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO

Dear Dan,

Love the article. Just wanted to add the additional "Horror of Every Registered Vehicle in Suffolk County" has had $50 added to its registration.

I have seven vehicles in my driveway, not including boats and motorcycles. The MTA just dropped a $350 bill on me and I had no say in this.

Dan, I have never been on a subway, or in a taxi or on a train. I have a car for transportation. In fact seven of them. Why am I burdened with the bad business practices of the MTA?

I'm guessing this doesn't affect the illegal aliens.

YOU CALL THIS A STORM?

Dear Dan,

Re; your First Thanksgiving story in the 11/13 issue; I believe that North Sea is 60 miles east of "Cow Bay," Manhasset, not "west." In addition, everybody knows that Conscience Point, on the southwest corner of North Sea Harbor, was named after that "landing," and the quote of the "English settlers."

And you call yourself a Bonacker? Shame on you! Other than those two gaffes, it was a great story, as always!

Yours,

Lloyd Booth

JUST RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAY, "I SWEAR I WILL NOT KILL ANYONE"

Dear Dan,

I am wondering when the town of Southampton is going to put the "Deer Crossing" signs on Millstone Road, Scuttlehole Road and Noyac Road. There are so many dead deer lying on the sides of these busy roads, it breaks your heart.

I have personally called the town months ago, telling them about all the "road kill," especially the mother deer hit by cars, leaving their babies to fend for themselves and they agreed to put up the signs. To date they have not. Maybe some of your readers that agree with me, can give a call to the town's Highway Department.

Thanks for getting the word out. Maybe your voice will be heard!

Best,

Michele Tennariello
