We got to the causeway this morning just before sunrise. It was 75 degrees.
We weren't the only ones eagerly waiting for the sun to come up.
He was just as focused as we were.
The sunrise spread beautiful colors all around the horizon.
Then the sun finally appeared.
I did some leaf raking in time for the garbage/recylcing/yard waste pick up.
We took a quick bike ride into town before lunch. Then, after lunch we rode to Dollar General to pick up a few items.
Later in the afternoon, after doing some research on dentists for our new (potential) dental plan, we drove around to inspect the top four candidates. Our favorite one is located on Bayshore Blvd. and Michigan, across from the Pinellas Trail. It's close enough to walk to. Tomorrow I plan to call to make sure they will take our insurance (our plan site said they would) and that they're taking new patients. Then I'll sign us up and make appointments. Unfortunately, the state does not pay for dental insurance, but they do make it available as a supplemental option. Navigating the actual appointment in the age of COVID-19 is going to be tricky.
I read a good article on COVID-19 risk-taking today. It made an interesting analogy to drunk driving. You may be able to get a way with it, but not getting in an accident or not getting caught does not mean it's safe to drive drunk.
Florida's infection rate is spiking after the governor lifted restrictions on bars and restaurants this past weekend. Fauci has been critical of that move, saying that Florida's positivity rate was much too high to make that move.
We took a walk around the neighborhood after dinner. The temperature is falling ahead of a cold front. It was 75 degrees on the evening walk. The low will be 66 tonight, and tomorrow's high will only be 80.
We got a text from a neighbor checking on us. She said she hadn't seen us and wanted to make sure we were okay. I told her about our trip to Daytona. It's nice to be missed.
