Day IV of Perfection

Mornin'!  It's 70° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and a bit breezy (SW 13-16mph) and lovely outside.  Perfect for kite flying as Wildwood's in the midst of their annual Kite Festival.  All my windows are wide open allowing the sea breeze to wift (waft) on in.  It's also allowing the island sounds into my home...seagulls laughing, neighboring air conditioners rattling, motorcycles revving, pickup trucks mufflers roaring, car alarms sounding, huge boat trailers rattling as they're pulled down the streets, police car sirens in the distance, dogs barking everywhere (including mine, unfortunately), folks nearby chatting and laughing loudly (some on phones) oblivious to the early morning folk still enjoying their sleep.  What I'm not hearing is next door's full house of young folk partying into the wee hours of the early morning.  We're in it now as this tiny island is totally packed to the gills which seems like hundreds of thousands of seashore loving folk.  There's too many people here on the island.  My husband's afraid we may sink!  Okay...done my rant.
It'll be another pleasant day.  Expect "kite flying" breezes out of the SW at 12-14mph with plenty of sunshine and temps tapping the low 80s.  Tonight...clouds roll in as there's a 60% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms with temps in the low 70s and breezes out of the S-SW at 10-13mph.  Tomorrow...70-80% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms throughout the day and evening.  Monday mostly cloudy that 80% decreasing to 30%.
High tide:6:18a.m. and 6:50p.m.
Low tide:12:16p.m.
Ocean temp:60°
UV Index:8 (high)
Sunset:8:16p.m.

I know what you mean. As we age, our tolerance for "noise" gets less and less every year. I have to rent our place out for the entire summer to make ends (condo fees, taxes, assessments) to break even. My rant is people that own dogs that don't shut up and don't care about anyone else's peace and quiet.
