Mornin'! I'm trying to wrap my mind around this last day of August thing. It's amazing that WW's summer is winding down. Even so, the Jewel of the Year is just up ahead. For anyone who's never experienced days at the Jersey Shore in September and October, you wouldn't believe that you've turned your back on the most incredible weather days of the calendar. Maybe I shouldn't be giving out our secret. It's currently 69 degrees in WW this morning as the sun crosses the horizon. No leaves moving on the trees outside. It's going to be another hot summer day as August fades out. WW will see the 90's today. Breezes at 10mph coming from the NW but will turn around this afternoon and begin blowing in from the south. It's certainly a perfect beach day once again. High tide:12:16p.m.; Low tide:6:54p.m.; Ocean temp:78 degrees. Earl is hovering down south and as of today, the forecasters are watching this one closely as WW may experience some major effects from this hurricane by the end of the week. We'll certainly see some rain, but the surf and winds and flooding and all that remains to be seen. As Earl heads up the coast, we're going to notice him big time. You can bet on dangerous rip currents and rough seas. I'll be keeping a close eye on the storm. But, for the last day of August...it's the calm before the storm and another "10"! See you at the beach!

So Long August!

Ran across mention of William Faulkner's "Light in August" just yesterday. I love mention of light itself being identifiable by time or place. Favorite example from Emily Dickinson: "There's a certain slant of light on winter afternoons that oppresses like the weight of cathedral tunes."
