Speaking of Storms
Hurricanes are taking an increasing larger toll on life and property in the eastern regions of the lower forty eight. Good thing human caused climate change is a hoax. Otherwise, that might be alarming.
We had a medium blow here the other day. Winds were moderate (nothing over 50 mph) but they hit at high tide. It was just under 22′ not a super high tide but enough to combine with the waves to produce this:
The building on the right is the Sport Shed, on the spit across from the Fishing Hole.
This is the parking lot between the Land’s End resort and the ferry dock. The waves are wrapping around the end of the spit and eating away at the bank. Normally, there is about 100′ of beach here with no waves and here the waves have eaten a five foot bank into what was a gentle slope to the beach.
Just a few days earlier the weather was perfect.
This Beluga Lake, our seaplane base.
Hope this finds you all safe and secure. Think Green!
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
