A locked gate delayed passengers of a Monday morning Seastreak trip this morning. It turns out a Steamship Authority employee who usually opens the dock gate had to call out sick, so there was a bit of a delay while someone else who could open the gate was found. Read more

Quote of the Day
|
“Until there is new evidence, I think it is safe to assume that the bites are from lone star larvae. The best prevention against the larvae is to wear permethrin-treated socks.

—Richard Johnson, former director of the MV Tick Program, on the recent rash of itches
