Things don’t always go smoothly as everyone knows. This was the case last night after my intrepid photo buddy Raymond and I set out to photograph the Milky Way one last time for the summer. This field trip was not for the fainthearted. We battled swarms of mosquitos trudging through the maritime forest, and on a moonless night it was tough to work in the dark. Finally it was time to leave the beach at around 10 p.m. and I was looking forward to the air-conditioned comfort of my car as we marched stoically back to base, dripping sweat and bug spray, only to discover that my car key fob had come loose from the mechanical key somewhere along the way. As other unfortunates have discovered by experience, you cannot start a push-button car without the fob. I got my money’s worth from my AAA membership with a 90 mile trip home from Hunting Island, squished with Raymond in the back of a tow truck with the car on the flatbed. Needless to say it was a very late night.
