Halcyon
The house barge of Mal and Celia, who are usually our neighbors in the water, are now our neighbors on land - both in the street, as pictured here, four days after Hurricane Sandy and currently in the parking lot of the marina we used to live in.
A halcyon, which is the name of their floating home, is a mythical bird that - according to ancient legend - nests at sea, about the time of the winter solstice. Allegedly, it could calm the ocean waves. It failed that test mightily during Superstorm Sandy, perhaps because it was still autumn.
