Oh wait…that’s March, not May.
This afternoon’s storm caused some excitement on the island- including a tornado watch. Thankfully, just heavy rain and a quick moving thunderstorm to interupt the day. Not to worry- tomorrow is June 1st- and the sun will be back out!
Started my morning walk with the steady wind at my back…the sun breaking through the mist over the ocean. The humidity level is up, creating even more resistance when I turned around for my walk back home.
We expect a few storms later this afternoon, but overall, a good weekend at the shore!
1) Respect an ample boundary line when selecting your spot on the beach. The shade from your umbrella shouldn’t be over your neighbor’s chair. 2) Check the wind direction before shaking out a towel…or lighting a cigarette (ideally- don’t do either when others are around). 3) If you walk your dog on the beach, understand [...]

A new restaurant at the 21st Circle – Black Fish- will have to give it a try.

This was taken yesterday morning- not a car in sight. By the afternoon, a few of my neighbors arrived- with more expected by tonight. The Philadelphia news stations are providing postive “shore” reports- and predicting great weather. It should be a fun weekend!
See you around town…
