The weather will probably change around here soon. Right now there is nothing remarkable. The wind and tide are not out of the ordinary. There is still a prediction for three to five foot tidal surges by tomorrow. Right now the water is not even breaking over the bulkhead.
Only four bayside units are not boarded up, including mine. Rob said they used 250 sheets of plywood at $15 each.
The fishing today has been unremarkable too. So far only two hardheads. The injured pelican probably thinks from his perspective the fishing was quite good. He ate both hardheads and a whole bunch of perch. He is becoming more aggressive when he is offered food. He really goes after it and sometimes the hand that feeds him too.
Joe(709) is here. I understand that Reuters has contacted him about taking some photos if the opportunity presents itself. I would post some more photos, but there is not much to photograph at this point.
I tried out the new Chinese buffet today. It is in the shopping center near Ace Hardware. It was quite good and pretty crowded for the middle of the afternoon. The staff is all Chinese. They do things with shrimp that I have never heard of. The lunch buffet is $6.50. The downtown area is about half business as usual and half boarded up and closed. I guess half are making the right decision.
The last time we were boarded up and no one was here, we had some theft. I put some extra long screws in the front door striker plate today. Some units have flat screen televisions and those are often the target of theft.
