Sunrise. All the white lights are cars on the LIE going west. It was a huge parking lot since traffic hardly moving. Not too many red lights can be seen going east. |
For lunch I had White Cheddar and Potato Soup, Shrimp and Mushroom Alfredo, a sip of red wine, and a Duo Chocolate Eclair. Soup and Alfredo were delicious, but the Eclair was somewhat dry. |
