Wednesday


Today's high was 79 degrees, so we opened the windows to enjoy the fresh air and breeze. We went on a long bike ride after lunch, but we kept to a loop consisting of the causeway and downtown--over and over.

On this morning's walk, I saw a dolphin jump completely out of the water, just before I took this shot. There were two of them playing. My timing was off, so I never got a picture of them. It was 64 degrees at 8:30 this morning, and 69 when we finished our walk. It was a nice change. The wind was blowing at 12 mph, so we wore long sleeves. John had his hoodie on all day.






 After our morning walk, we rode our bikes to Honeymoon Island before lunch. There were four surfers in the water waiting for waves.

 
 
We had a great salad for dinner and a bowl of chili.
 
Today's routes

I am more than a little concerned over the election, not that Biden won't win, but that Trump will not accept it. It appears that Trump is willing to resort to anything to win. There is no bottom. I don't like the threats of lawlessness and violence. He is a horrible person, totally lacking in any humanity, and a failed leader. 200,000 + Americans dead. We have 20% of the world's deaths from the virus, but only 4% of the world's population. And he lies constantly, about all things both great and small.

I will be voting for Biden and every other Democrat on the ballot. I hope that others will do the same and that together we can save our democracy with an overwhelming rejection of Trumpism.

I long for a time in the near future where I wake up and don't think about the president and what outrageous thing he has said or done.

  1. I love watching dolphins. I do miss that about the Pamlico. How do you bike 35 miles. I biked 16 today. Spent a lot of time digesting the news and commentary from last night.

  2. To the end of the causeway and back is 12 miles. I did that twice today. Downtown is 3. I did that 3 times. It adds up.
