Good Morning,

We hope everyone came through the weekend's nor'easter safe and dry. If you're still clearing branches or dealing with flooded streets, Brookhaven trash pickup is back on its regular schedule today, though some low-lying roads may see delays.

Once things dry out, there's plenty on the calendar. The Patchogue Arts Council's Learning to Look series takes on the School of Paris tomorrow night, Frank Reyes brings bachata to Stereo Garden on Friday, and Bayport-Blue Point families should note the Homecoming parade has moved to Friday, Oct. 23.

Thanks for reading, and have a great week.
