Escape!!!! I left the drive fully intending to just run a quick trip to the grocer's. I was watching the rollers out on the lake as they crested, had to be at least ten footers, surging waves. It was windy, chilly, rainy, no one would be in danger of drowning, no one would be at the beach. No one would be at the beach......the blinker switches as if under its own power, it is my turn. I turn right instead of left, no one will be at the beach, I smile. I will soon be at the beach. So I was. The waves were still tall as they beat against the shore with the rhythm of a universal heart. The power could be felt from head to toe. the winds came with the waves almost as if it were the driving force behind them. There is a familiar chill to the air. Winter tides are coming. Every crash of the white tip monsters pounded away the last warm vestiges or Indian Summer. Soon the snows and the ice will come. Tucking away all things living, beneath blankets of snow and sheets of ice. today though, today an escape, while the last warmth of summer battles the cold coming of winter and tosses long locks about. |

The weather is lovely here in Dublin, bright and sunny Gosh, rather early for snow, or is that the norm?

LAKE MICHIGAN IS SAID TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS INLAND WATERWAY IN THE USA AND ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I REMEMBER WHEN EVEN IN THE NORTHERN SUBURBS OF CHICAGO WE COULD WALK ON THE FROZEN LAKE FOR QUITE SOME DISTANCE IN WINTER. WE CANNOT DO THAT HERE ON THE MED. NOT THAT I REALLY MISS IT.

I'm not quite ready for freezing temperatures, though it was only 39 this morning. Getting close, but we will warm up to 68 today and tomorrow we'll be back to 82. There were freeze warnings to the north and east of me, so parts of Texas have already felt the chilly air.
