And “teenagers” is the new “youths.”
Well, they all looked well tanned.
My oh my, what wonderful tans they have this early in the season.
I have a picture of my mother at that beach with 3-year-old me standing next to her. Not many people at the beach then, it was pleasant.
It’s not even Juneteenth yet? The Long Island of my youth is no more.
Greatest mistake in American history
My wife heard the headline of “SENIORS having a big brawl at Jones Beach” and thought it was about a bunch of old geezers having a throw-down fight after escaping the old folks home.
On senior ditch day, we got busted drinking Boone’s Farm and having a mid-day bonfire on the Indiana Dunes.
