Bill Me Later

In the Sunday am, Hurricane Bill is greatfully expected to pass well to the east of Chatham n Nantucket on the lower Cape. (btw- I'm on the upper Cape zone). Looks like the Canadian Maritimes will be in for it tho.

.

We're prepping for the water swells here, n some folks are getting ready for the surfing. Riptides may be a problem for those jumping in. There's usually a few out of place marine critter sightings in advance of large ocean storms also, species following the fleeing food supply.

.

The TV news had a great white shark attacking a seal sighting off Chatham early this am. Their barrier beach has eroded n formed a new island in recent years,(2007 post), (great arial Globe pic), so what a big storm will do to downtown there is unknown. Luckily, they won't find out yet.

.

Folks here will be pulling out some boats n doubling up others mooring ties.

Conditions are definately tropical here this week, with very high humidity n Temps. The water temps are in the 60F's too. Like bath water- I decided it was too low for me to jump in this afternoon early on. I was too busy playing catch-up anyhow.

.

The oppressive humidity has me sweating, feeling crappy, n very achy. The old Rhuemetiz is a settin' in agin- Fog was so thick today, creeping in quickly across the Narrows as I was driving to the market n gas station there. Bad day for laundry but had to do it anyway.

.

Except for the vinegar-wall-washing again, I avoided the backroom work. There's still plenty to do, but the conditions aren't comfortable enough to consider much more exertion.

.

I'm chalking up a non-productive day, n I'll try to deal with it (Well, I do need rest badly-). With Luck, the current Hurricane will be a non-event lost in history's fog also...
