Chris Christie on the beach again.
Please be a golf ball...
I’ve got dynamite.
I grew up at the Jersey Shore. Spent much of my early years in and around the ocean and river. From the age I would have been aware of whale sightings until a dozen or so years ago, they were very rare. A friend of mine mated on a party boat out of Belmar several summers and never mentioned any whale sightings.
The whale population must be booming, since not a week goes by without a dead one washing up somewhere within 20 miles of here. A couple of local party boats (head boats to some of you) are even doing whale watching cruises.
Growing up on the Northern Oregon coast we had a dead whale wash up on shore. Folks on the highway 5 miles away could smell the stench...It faded in a few weeks.

I thought Hillary lived in Chappaqua?
We saw a dead whale on the beach in Montauk , the easternmost beach on Long Island. It was amazingly huge. People were letting their kids climb around on it. Bad idea, I thought. It was so recently dead, it might still have working nervous system and jaws. Overprotective mom, I was.
Southampton…..a beautiful place .
