Staten Island is known as the Outer Borough - sometimes treated like a step-child - it is red when the others are blue - and sometime marches to a different drummer. But it made the headlines this week when an 80 year old man on horseback rode over the Outerbridge Crossing from New Jersey with another horse in tow. Riding into New York usually exacts a toll but all he received was a summons for impeding traffic. As his destination is Brooklyn he has his eyes on the Verrazano Bridge but has been persuaded to van his equines to avoid another incident. It seems a long way to go to find a blacksmith.
