Excerpted from today's Asbury Park Press:"To call it "the calm before the storm" is to damn it with faint praise. It's more like an annual apocalypse, a 3 1/2-month-long "end of life as we know it" for those who live at or near the Jersey Shore."
Once again, paradise is invaded. The invasion seems to have occurred a little earlier than usual this year (days before the start of Memorial Day weekend), but that's because our area gets infiltrated with religious Syrian Jews. This week is a holiday--Shavout--so they're all out of school and work. Ack. I could go on and on about how annoying it is to have these 'summer people' here, but why waste the energy. They're not going anywhere (just the opposite, in fact...every year there are more and more) so the rest of us will just have to deal with it, until Labor Day.
