Bob O’Rourke of Aquebogue had no plans of going home early Wednesday afternoon.

The 64-year-old spent the day watching the Disney Channel at the Senior Center, even after most of the seniors went home because they have air conditioning,.

Bob said his house is not air conditioned, and even though it is just a few hundred feet by bike from the center, he was going to stay until later in the afternoon.

“I like it here, he said. “It’s nice and comfortable.”

The center will be open until 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday
