 If you look closely, the 4 dots on the cloud are United States Air Force Thunderbird fighter jets. That was the best I could do with a cell phone!
When they flew over head, they were in and out of my screen before I could take the picture.Â
I watched the show (mostly with binoculars) from the beach in Margate. Next year, I will venture at least in to Ventnor for a better view.  But no complaints…sitting on a beach chair at the water’s edge or swimming in the warm ocean while the planes flew by…an ideal day!
 There are advantages of taking a walk in the early evening. It’s usually cooler (tonight, the only cool air was right at the ocean’s edge), and the sky is beautiful just after sunset.
 A beautiful morning after last night’s storm. 
 A wild summer thunderstorm tonight! Fast moving, but intense. Fire trucks and police cars zipping by- hopefully nothing serious.
 “How’s the market?” A common question from property owners, potential buyers, and tenants.
Stone Harbor Beach Replenishment
The staging area will be on 111th Street. Dredge pipes will be extended as the beach fills works it’s way north to 98th Street. Approximately 3 blocks will be closed at a time in the immediate work area. It’s a 24/7 operation, pumping sand for a total of 9 days.
The $2.5 million project is cost shared with the State of New Jersey: 75% State, 25% Stone Harbor. 245,000 cubic yards of sand will be added. The removal of the outfall pipes is a separate project- that work will begin late fall or early winter.
