Happy birthday us! and Happy birthday U.S.!
MyRye.com is off until Monday, but here are the show times for the fireworks shows at Playland this weekend.
If you want to avoid the mayhem, park at a friend's house off Forest Avenue and walk down the Playland boardwalk without going into the park. You'll avoid the crowds and as a bonus you can look across the Long Island Sound and see about 20 different fireworks shows taking place on Long Island.
Fireworks times:
Special Fireworks Holiday shows are this Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th at 9:30pm off the pier. Regular fireworks shows are every Wednesday and Friday through September 4th at 9:15pm by the seaside walk.
Happy Fourth everyone!!!!
We will be at the fireworks too!!!!!

Why must you park your car in front of churches and our homes and embarrass us all? We have nothing to do with Hen Island? I am 79 years old and just don’t understand why you act this way.
Can’t you park it in front of your own home? My grandchildren are in from the West Coast and I am mortified.
Why do you do this to people that have nothing to do with your problem?
The view is going to be spectacular. Happy 4th!
Mrs. Curtis,
Maybe you can call the mayor and ask him to enforce the laws on Hen Island. I am also mortified that I have to use water infected with bird feces and my neighbors are allow by our Mayor Otis to pollute the Sound. Please take a look at what I have to live with.

The way I see it we are all suffering because we have elected a mayor that does not do his Job. Please help me to complain to the Mayor, I have been doing it for two years. I am truly sorry if you are embarrassed, I am too.

Ray–
Anyone can choose whether or not they want to deal with a campground that uses roof top water, correct?
There is no pollution problem with that. If you do not like it, don’t live on Hen Island. You MADE that choice when you MOVED there. Birds shit on the Sound, if you feel its a problem SELL your place. No one else is complaining.
Look–I don’t wish you any harm but your cause is fruitless and causing problems for many that don’t have any control over any possible solution.
Knock it off Ray. Good luck sir but we have had it.
Enough. Don’t hold us hostage for something we have no idea how to solve and we certainly did NOT create.
Happy 4th, Ray.. Let it go.
Nah, keep at it Ray. I get a kick out of you. You’re a train wreck. You should of heard the discussion at Poppy’s the other day.
Your campaign is working. Two residents who had no idea where Hen Island is (or how to get there) but were chuckling when they heard about your car.
Yeah, you embarrass us, but one day this will all be over and nobody will remember you. You’re the Billy Mays of dead people (apologies to Billy).
I bet the grandkids must be proud.

Stop lying. You are not required to do anything of the sort on Hen Island. You are free to choose what water you shower with and where you get it. Yhere is no requirement that you even shower.
Rob Moore,
You are wrong. There are solutions for EVERYTHING. He’s one anyone can use to purify water:
1/2 teaspoon Regular Clorox Bleach per five gallons of water
If water is cloudy, double the recommended dosages of Clorox Bleach.
That’s it. All Ray Tartaglione has to do is take 5 gallons of water off the top of his rain cistern ( it will be free of particles) and add 1/2 teaspoon of chlorine. Then use the water to take a sponge bath. In fact Europeans use the tub they very rarely shower. Showers are an American thing.

“Happy 4th, Ray.. Let it go.”
Forget that. He’s dug a hole so deep the only way out is to keep digging. The other funny thing is that he’s done this to himself even though he may try to convince you otherwise.
yes, I guess your right. What else can he do but continue this charade?
How much does he pay Floatie and Jack A anyway, anyone know?

Ray Tartaglione
You don’t have to use that water. You can either bring out fresh water, purify the rain water or shower at home. It’s a free country, that is what we are celebrating.
and my neighbors are allow by our Mayor Otis to pollute the Sound.
Ray Tartaglione
Many of your neighbors use non polluting composting toilets. You don’t and refuse to install one. By your rational, you are the polluter. Someone here has asked you countless times why you won’t install a composting toilet? Yet you refuse to answer.
The way I see it we are all suffering because we have elected a mayor that does not do his Job.
Ray Tartaglione
You didn’t elect anyone, you are not a Rye resident. And you have certainly not made yourself welcome in Rye.
I am truly sorry if you are embarrassed, I am too.
Ray Tartaglione
You should be embarrassed of yourself. You spend a fortune doing nothing but making a fool of yourself. Your representatives are a turd and a jackass. Both are fitting self portraits.
hey ray then why don’t you park it front of the mayor and city council members houses!
People, please lay off Ray and Mr Floatie.
Can’t you see he has a valid point? It’s a mess and it needs to be cleaned up. He is 100% correct and many of us applaud his efforts.
Good for Ray and good for Floatie. We love you!

Ray, do you wear a dress and woman’s underwear when you post as Mrs Reynolds?
Captain Lou Albano: I am insulted by your comment. I have never met Mr Tartaglione. I am a Rye senior citizen and find his message intriguing. I am disappointed you would think I am not a “real” person but instead an impostor or something. Shame on you. Not everyone in this town is against Mr Floatie.
Mrs.Reynolds,
Stand proud and pay no mind to these low class citizens.
They can’t help they were deprived as a child!
You would enjoy a beautiful weekend more by not logging on this site…. there are some big time jerks on here with zero respect for anyone! You will see what I mean when Capt.Big Mouth doesn’t issue an apology!!
No need to apologize Captain–speak your mind.
Mrs Frank Reynolds –
Don’t be fooled by one man’s delusional quest for a taxpayer-funded home improvement project. He claims the Sound is polluted and getting worse, but Mother Nature herself has indicated an improving eco-system, as witnessed by the recent arrival of hundreds of dolphins.
Furthermore, as a qualified doctor, I think you’re in the early stages of dementia. Anyone who professes to love a giant turd has some serious scatalogical issues. But please don’t be too alarmed – there are many programs offered by the county and state that can do wonders in improving your situation. And if those fail, I have another option you may want to consider.
“taxpayer-funded home improvement project” WRONG
This is a private island and any improvements should be paid for with private funds.
Mrs. R, thank you for the support! Stand tall as I do. (eight feet)The ones that accuse you of not being yourself are the ones that pretend to be Rye residents when in actuality they are Hen Islanders. I know there are many people in Rye that do not like me. Nevertheless, I know they all realize that many of the Hen Islanders are polluters and would like to see them stop. We will be looking for you at the fireworks tonight…
Mr. Floatie and Jack A.
I know it is the fourth of July but below is the only holiday video I have. Enjoy and Merry 4th of July to you and yours.

Ray –
Even Mr. Floatie says this is your issue, not the city, county or state. SO GO OUT AND SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM!
flush
I only speak the truth. Dr. K, add split personality to your diagnosis. It fits nicely with the paranoia of aggressive teenage girls.
Seriously? My God is one who cares about the Earth He created. I daresay he would be ashamed that you think He would be offended by the FloatieMobile being parked in front of a House of God. I think He would be proud. Really people; examine your belief system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
