It was a glorious day today on Cape Cod. Blue sky, gentle wind, and moderate temps. Took a nice walk along the ocean out to a point. Gloves off! 😀 #CapeCod #ocean #beach

Good morning. 🌊🐚☕

18 March 2026

I think I’ll let Charlie take me for a walk this morning so we can breathe some fresh air and get a little exercise. We’ll wait a couple of hours and let the outside warm up first. The temperature usually rises through the day until two or three o’clock, then it drifts back down again like a gentle wave. Usually is the key word — when the temperature starts falling in the middle of the day, something is happening in the atmosphere. Most likely a cold front rolling in from the north.

I used to understand these things a bit better, thanks to a few college classes, but that was a long, long time ago. Still, I remember enough to know that a cold front coming from the south would be a bad omen, especially since I live about eighty miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. That’s where the warm waters feeding the Gulf Stream begin their journey up the eastern coast of the United States and Canada. On the other side of the country, the California Current runs south from British Columbia, carrying much colder water. If you’ve ever dipped your hands in both oceans, you know the difference immediately — the Atlantic feels almost warm compared to the chill of the Pacific.

Those currents do a lot to shape our weather. I wish I could recall more of the details of the country’s physical geography, but the simple truth is this: disrupting those currents would be a very bad thing.

Hmm… another morning where my mind wanders wherever it pleases, even if it leads me into waters deeper than I can swim.

"A lively gathering of terns stands along the sandy edge of Holly Beach, Louisiana, where the Gulf’s gentle waves roll in with a soft hiss. The birds form a loose cluster near the shoreline, their white bodies bright against the pale sand. Royal Terns dominate the group — tall, sleek birds with crisp white plumage, black caps that look like windswept crests, and long, vivid orange beaks that catch the sunlight. Mixed among them are smaller Forster’s Terns, more delicate in build, their softer gray wings and shorter bills giving them a subtler presence beside their royal cousins. Some birds face the water, some face inland, and others seem to be calling out, their beaks slightly open as if in mid‑conversation. A few stand close together like companions; others keep a bit of distance, each bird claiming its own patch of sand. Behind them, the ocean glimmers in shifting shades of blue and green, the surface broken by small, foamy waves that slide up the beach and retreat again. The light is bright and clean, giving the whole scene a feeling of openness — a warm, breezy morning on the Louisiana coast where the birds rest, preen, and watch the water. The image carries the easy rhythm of coastal life: wind, waves, and a gathering of seabirds sharing the shoreline." - Microsoft Copilot
