After all of the trouble I went to get my hair cut like I am supposed to at age 65, I did not lose the expected 10 pounds. However my helmet fits a bit more loosely now.
In case you haven't noticed the world went nuts this past week. And we got to see a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral.
SWMBO and I went to the beach, or as I like to call it Ocracoke Island last Sunday.
We had a nice lunch at an old favorite..........
.........followed by some quality time on the beach
See a common denominator?
Actually the time on the beach was not high quality, the wind was heavy and we only stayed there about an hour. Despite the surf I did fly fish a little and caught a small blue. Ocracoke is in worse shape than we imagined, the reconstruction after Dorian is still in full swing. Lord help anyone on that island if the wind stops blowing this summer, it will be skeeter heaven this year, standing water is everywhere.
Speaking of Ocracoke, do you pronounce the K or leave it at coh? I told SWMBO that Dink did not pronounce that second part, but who would ever think I would source Dink as a guide for proper pronunciation? I've heard others who omitted the K also. Along those lines, did you know the word "pronunciation" is one of the most mis-pronounced words in the English language? I am an expert on these things, axe anyone.
So it is late Friday afternoon, time for the wind to start blowing at 20+ so that I can't fish. Oh well..........
