Back on the coast
Its 7pm back on the cliff above the ocean in Manzanita. When I left the Arlington airport this morning it was almost uncomfortably hot, but here on the coast the clouds have rolled in, a light mist is falling, and it’s cold enough that even I debate staying out here on the deck.
There are surfers in the waves on the ocean below, though compared to when I was here Friday the waves are mere ripples. I know the kite boarders must be frustrated, as there is no wind to speak of. All of this makes no difference to the birds around me, as their songs, calls, and scoldings surround me.
Scratch that comment about the waves being ripples, they just seem much more variable now.
Next morning
I just wasn’t in the mood last night, tired from my 5am wake up call! Today I woke up to thunderstorms, so there will be no writing on the beach today. In addition, I have horrible knee pain. I don’t know if it’s caused by gout, or by some other sort of arthritic pain. It’s severe enough that it’s a bit hard to concentrate. Ugh.
