The Early Bird

Velcro Beach
No LL

Yesterday a bunch of dangerous thunderstorms and potential tornadoes passed by. One went 10 miles north of here and another 10 miles south of here. That seems to happen frequently. Vero seems to be a little island of tranquility on stormy days. (Knock on wood.)

This morning the weather is splendid. I'll put on another coat of paint on the boomkin parts.

The splendid weather is supposed to continue into tomorrow. That means the space shuttle pre-dawn launch scheduled for 04:39 tomorrow should be a go and it should be spectacular. I'd like to row the dinghy over to the beach and watch it from there. Libby too would like to see it. She also frequently mentions how magical it is to row a boat in the dark and calm of night. We'll see how much enthusiasm remains when I try to wake her at 03:30 tomorrow.
