The Rest of the Story
Not all of it; that is still unfolding. But I thought I’d show you what the same site looks like on a “normal” day at low tide.
This is taken from almost the same spot as the last post, just zoomed in a little.
This is the Sports Shed from the beach side. That wood and concrete wall is what the waves were crashing into last post. Those chunks of concrete were once post bases.
Both buildings
This high tide line is from a later, and lower, high tide. A lot of driftwood has been relocated.
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!
