Sammy, That Sag Harbor Rascal

 

my neighborhood, it’s a giant cul de sac, if you go down my street you are

 

going to my neighborhood.

 

This is a quiet block in a quiet neighborhood, Azurest, on the East side of

 

Sag Harbor, until Memorial Day, when some “visitors,” come out to spoil

 

the peace and quiet they are allegedly coming out here to enjoy. It is an irony

 

to die for in Sammy’s case, and I feel like I’ve lost a neighbor because some-

 

one needed to speed down a street eight houses long. Sure Sammy was a

 

testy rascal, but he was killed by the most dangerous animal on the planet: a

 

car driving human*

 

 

*32,708 humans were killed by humans in cars in 2010, countless pets.
