After what seems like an eternity, the sun has finally crawled out of the cave it was hibernating in and is quickly warming up Long Island. Beachgoers are stacking coolers and chairs in the trunks of their cars and the burgers and hot dogs are flying off of supermarket shelves. Summer is here, folks.
