September summer perfection
The beach. Cali wrap from Surf Taco. Found $5 on the ground. Sunny and 80. No traffic. Bliss.
It seems odd to throw in that I also visited Middletown, NJ's 9/11 memorial, but that's where I went first, and it was a great experience. Middletown lost 37 people that horrific day, more than any other town in NJ. I was there a good 45 minutes and only ONE other person interrupted my solitude. Well, one person PLUS the random bagpiper who slowly walked the length of the memorial playing AMAZING GRACE for 5 minutes, but I enjoyed this a great deal; added to the moment.
It's truly been one of those GREAT days. So great that 1) I could never put it into words and 2) am too tired to even really try. I was scared by mostly cloudy conditions when I woke up. Even when I left about 12:10pm, it was generally cloudy...but off to the west I saw a clear line of blue advancing. And by the time I reached the shore, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Magnificent! Wow, wow, wow! Summer's over, my ass.
