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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only speak the truth. Dr. K, add split personality to your diagnosis. It fits nicely with the paranoia of aggressive teenage girls.

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!

“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.

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.

No need to apologize Captain--speak your mind.

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!!

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.

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?
