Last weekend I became aware of the fireman's badge of honor so to say. A worn
helmet tells a story, like the notch's on a cowboys gun. These three helmets
with their shields melted, blacken, and baked say.... the heat was intense,
but we put out fires. I look at helmets of little differently now and the men
and women who wear them.
Interesting story behind this one. You can see a woman in the passenger seat, with a dog on her lap. I snapped the shot, and went in the store. When I came out, another woman (presumably her daughter, the owner of the car), confronted me. She said it was illegal to take pictures of her car (false), and that the fire fighter tag allowed her to park in the fire lane (also false). She then wrote down my tag number, and supposedly called it in to her friends at the Sheriff's Department to find out who I was, since I wouldn't say my name (abuse of power?).
Her mom also yelled out the window that her license plate was private information (then why is it visibly placed on the front and back of the car? It's not like I photographed her registration or license!)
Patchogue (/ˈpætʃoʊɡ/ or /ˈpætʃɒɡ/) is a village on the south shore of Long Island in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 11,798 at the time of the 2010 census.[1] Patchogue is part of the town of Brookhaven, on the South Shore of Long Island, adjoining Great South Bay. It is officially known as the Incorporated Village of Patchogue.
Patchogue, which is approximately 60 miles (100 km) east of Manhattan, became incorporated in 1893. A natural riverfront and harbor are resources that the village has utilized for the past 100 years, to become a modern and largely self-contained community.
Sketch of early Patchogue
The current mayor of Patchogue, Paul Pontieri, was a vice-principal of the neighboring South Country School District's Bellport High School for many years. He has also served as a vice-principal at Ward Melville High School, in Three Village School District. He was elected in March, 2004 to a four year term, then re-elected in 2008. He is the only Mayor of Patchogue in history to have run, unopposed, when he was re-elected in 2008.[citation needed] He is also the only Mayor to have been elected to an unprecedented third term in March 2012.
The Four Corners, where West & East Main Streets meets South & North Ocean Avenues.
Patchogue is the mailing address for residents of the village, as well as residents of the adjoining hamlets of North Patchogue, Canaan Lake, and some areas on Fire Island.
Patchogue and the adjacent hamlet of Medford share a school district and library. There are Primary, Middle and High Schools, plus continuing education programs for adults. The School District, The Patchogue-Medford Library, St. Joseph's and the Briarcliffe Colleges provide a variety of educational opportunities. In 2010, the Patchogue-Medford Library was awarded the 2010 National Medal for Museum and Library Science for the library's work in bilingual programming.[2]
The Patchogue Theater for the Performing Arts, which opened in 1923, was home to many Vaudeville acts. It was then renovated into a triplex, after which it was converted to a single movie theater, closing its doors in the late 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the Village, under the administration of Mayor Stephen Keegan, acquired the theater and completely refurbished the building, restoring its original splendor. It now seats 1,166 people and the lobby has a full service bar.
Patchogue has places of worship of many denominations. Three churches in Patchogue are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Congregational Church on East Main Street, United Methodist Church on South Ocean Avenue between Church Street and Terry Street, and the St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Rider Avenue across from Terry Street. St. Francis de Sales is the Roman Catholic parish which was formed in the 1880s. It was formed and flourished despite the protests of the nativist movement (the Know Nothings). The Patchogue Chamber of Commerce, Knights of Columbus Council 725, Kiwanis, Rotarians and Lions, along with religious institutions, provide support and to residents and business people in the town. The Patchogue Ambulance Company is an all-volunteer service. Patchogue is home to two synagogues, Young Israel of Patchogue and Temple Beth-El.
Currently, the Village is under a large construction project called New Village on Main Street. This project is a $100 million project that will have residential units on the top levels and restaurants and retail on the ground level

Fire on Judes Gap. View from World's Edge
I had to go see it. It was my first time on World's Edge and the view is amazing. I just hate to see the fire's destruction. Praying all stay safe who are fighting the blaze as well as those who's homes are nearby.
"As of 5 p.m. today, the fire had encompassed 550 acres, and could triple in size as fire crews extend fire lines to navigate the rugged mountain terrain. Three bulldozers and about 75 firefighters were working the scene this afternoon, David Brown, fire information officer for the State Fire Service, said from his cell phone at the intersection of Coopers Gap Road and Burgess Road near the Sunny View community, where plumes of smoke were clearly visible. Crews from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Edneyville and Sunny View fire departments continue to assist in the operation, as is Henderson County Emergency Services." ~ Gary Clancy, Times-News, BlueRidgeNow.com
No cheep Indy fire, this is a TP. Please note the latrine. The crops on the left are of a darker shade, giving the impression that the crops were planted earlier.
