turns out my dentist appt. yesterday was just a consultation type thing. took about 20 x-rays, did a brief cleaning and discussed my future work. I haven't been to this dentist in so long, I forgot how much I like him. I'm not even terrified of going back for my next FOUR appointments. Scared, yes. Terrified, not so much.
Anyhow, we celebrated the fact that I did not have to endure any torturous dental pain yesterday by going to our new favorite sushi place, Izumi in Bethpage. I feel a bit bad - we had been going to Ozumo, also in Bethpage, for so long. We were regulars there, had our own table and everything, but this new place - wow. So fresh and different and so many other options besides the usual rolls. There are only so many combos of tuna/salmon/tempura/tobiko/rice you can take before it become like Taco Bell - a hundred foods on the menu, all with the same five ingredients.
My favorite things at Izumi are the ones not wrapped in rice - we had something wrapped in a thin layer of cucumber last night that was amazing. The sauces are rich and tasty without being overpowering. Everything tastes fresh. Plus, the service is excellent. There is nothing that sours you on a place like having to wait half an hour after you are done eating for someone to bring your check.
So we are not so much cheating on Ozumo, as leaving them for a younger, sexier sushi experience. It's like a sushi mid life crisis.
Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”

We had so much fun hiking on glaciers our first time in Iceland that we had to make sure we could do it again on our second trip. We went out with Aron from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service again, this time for a glacier hike on the Fjallsjökull Outlet of the Vatnajökull Glacier. We would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.
This shot was hard to capture, with a deep fissure in the glacier seemingly disappearing into the void.
