From August second till October 1 the clam beds were in shut down here in Western Long Island Sound. So on October 3rd, I made a clam run. The Video below was never posted. I forgot about the footage, because I never made it home. My friend and I left the Dock on seemingly normal day. The weather was perfect! It took us a little while to locate some clams but we did. The events that unfolded from this point on were crazy.
I guess that afternoon a woman who had problems mentally decided to ram into the white house gate. In the process she hurt a police officer and was driving really fast all over DC. The end result was her death. The bad new was she lived in my building. While on the way in my wife called me and said she was getting evacuated. Well we made it through the night and excitement with no problem. I intended to post the video, but never did. clam video
Clam video brings back memories. I worked as a clam treader (wetsuits, feet find clams) for 13 years behind Long Beach Island, NJ. I posted a story about it, "Adventure in the Underground Economy," on Littons Fishing Lines.
