It is said, “You never take anything off Long Beach Island; what is on the Island stays on the Island.” That’s what I’ve heard from day one of coming back from yard sales with the truck full, or loaded from a demolition sale, or even picking trash, which I am well known to do. It’s not unusual for neighbors to say, “I saw you loading up your truck down the street. Did you find anything good?”

But now to Superstorm Sandy – she was menacing to our Island.
