Went for long walk on beach late this afternoon. Sun still out, with storm coming in from southwest. On behalf of plants in the woods, grass on the hills, and the aquifers, (and myself), am hoping for as much rain as possible in the next few months. Note crow in bottom pic. Two of them were riding wind currents back and forth, horizontal with beach, just holding wings out. As I climbed back up the cliff, the horizon had darkened, and 10 minutes after this photo was shot, fog had drifted from ocean to land.

Late Friday afternoon, I spotted these 2 little kids on the beach: Levi, age 18 months and Tyler, age 5. Parents are Chris and Allison Coolidge. They were sitting so the water would come in and get them wet. I didn’t know they made wetsuits this small. Look at Levi: gremlin in the making…

Drove along the coast last night to meet my running friends. I don’t mean to go on about my new Honda Fit, but sheesh! I can’t believe that such a relatively inexpensive little car handles and corners and rides like this. No, I have not been hired by Honda to say these things.

Probably partly due to 40 years of driving trucks, this is like dancing along the road. Spiffy. Plus my neighbor Chick, who has eclectic taste in music (previously turned me on to J.B.Hutto and the Hawks and gospel singer Dorothy Love Coats), gave me “Sinatra — ’57 In Concert,” and it made for a great cruise along the ocean.
