Labor Day 2006 has come and gone. The beach season in New York is officially closed, and the collective mindset has already redirected itself toward thoughts of autumn and battening down the hatches. The weather here had been dark, cool, and rainy for almost three weeks, so all I could ask for was at least one day during this long weekend in which I could have my final Coney Island fling for the season. That wish was granted and I had a blissful day with my husband today. We got a late start because he had an early rehearsal, but it was a beautiful trip nonetheless. I was surprised at how few people there were, and it made being there all the more enjoyable. Goodbye to the summer.... 
The famous Cyclone. *inhale*...
SCREEEEEEEEEAM! (I get such a rush just watching that I can't take a clear picture.
)
There were a lot of beautiful clouds of many different shapes.
Me to my belly: You know, belly, next summer you're going to be a lot smaller, ya hear?
Belly: *evil chuckle* Sure, sure. You keep pouring the beer in me and I'm not going anywhere. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha -- cough cough cough -- ha aaaa a a a a aaaa a a!
Damn your evil hide, belly!
What's the ocean without... sea gulls.
There were lots of kites...
What, you didn't believe me about the kites? Do you wanna fight me?
I didn't think so.
I hope you all had a fab summer. Mine this year was a little on the "meh" side, but you win some, you lose some, ya know?

Bumbershoot is, apparently, named as such since the end of summer is supposed to herald the return of the rain. In reality, though, sunny weather is still quite common in western Washington in early September and this year's festival was no exception. Aside from haze in the air (which supposedly came from forest fires elsewhere in the area), the weather conditions could scarcely have been more summer-like for this year's festival. HolaGatita even has a few excellent pictures of Debbie Harry and roller derby girls. Ask her to post them and she might just do as such. She likes you.
Sorry that the YouTube wasn't working for you...but, if you commit the entire Young Ones series to memory, it will become a moot point, anyway.
Why is spinach pie soooooo freaking good??
