STONE HARBOR, N.J.– The “socially sanctioned form of adult play” that is reading The Times is something I don’t have time for in my daily life, so getting to do so is one of the highlights of vacation . I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I thought I was in luck when I saw a Times box directly across Third Ave. from our condo. Alas, I was not since the box was jammed and the paper couldn’t be retrieved. I had to walk all the way to the Wawa at 95th Street, a 26 block roundtrip, to buy a paper because the Times is not that readily available in Stone Harbor like it is at resorts further north.
There was an upside though, Gmaps Pedometer says I walked approximately 1.45 miles every time I got the paper; seven miles I probably wouldn’t have walked otherwise over the course of the week.
