HAPPY NEW YEAR, NEW PRESIDENT, NEW VACCINE (this submitted before inauguration with hope that it will be peaceful)
Although information keeps changing one can be fairly certain that almost everyone will be vaccinated by the start of 2021 summer season and, although precautions are still advised. the return to normal is happily anticipated.
Speaking of normal - the INN will open April 23
Kismet celebrated New Year’s Eve with a light parade similar to last summer's July 4th home tour. The McCanns and Krysia organized the event and cars assembled and circled around the town to look at everyone's Xmas lights. Loud Xmas music from Sam's cart contributed to the festivities.
In NYC a stalwart group of loyal Kismetics had a zoom NY Eve cocktail party continuing their Zoom Happy Hour festivities begun during summer. Among attendees: Helene, Susan and Carole, Nina, Cathy, Beverly, Joanie, Marcia and friends organized by old time Kismet socialite Gerry Greenberg

THE DEER ARE DOOMED Our deer are also in need of vaccines The fire Island national seashore have advised that the deer hunt will occur again sometime between February and March depending on when they find a suitable company to kill them. The reason they do not consider the alternate plan of immuno contraception which had previously proved effective, is blamed on approval by the FDA which has not been true. The actual culprit which they have not bothered to follow up with is the DEC Department of environmental conservation which has a separate agency supposedly studying the alternative humane way of managing the deer population which FINS said are endangering other indigenous species by destroying their native habitat by eating the vegetation. There are three requirements for a suitable Vaccine: it must last three years and be delivered by remote injections and there must be no “residue” I.e. substances harmful to humans for consumption The irony here is that if the program works, they are not supposed to shoot the deer In the past those who love our deer and have devised ways to keep them here and away from the killing fields and some have even given them names. Keep up the good work! I have not been able to contact a representative at the DEC https://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/ndmgfin.pdf
Ferry Company cannot seem to predict more than one week in advance so they gave me “Spring” as the date they will resume service to us.
