The Summer of No Rain

For the entire summer, it has not rained. Nothing. Brown lawns, dead shrubs, desperate Robins are the norm.

It has rained the entire week of my beach vacation. And although others have worse stories of vacations in ruins, I, being a navel gazing blogger, think mine is the worst.

It is a race to the bottom.

Money saved, weekly, to spend on a ocean vacation, is wasted. There is a downside to choosing a vacation location that is "quiet"...there is nothing to do when the poring down rain starts on Sunday and has not stopped as of 1:14 Wednesday.

Yesterday's lunch was two Bloody Mary's and a slightly tipsy trip to the surf shop for a sweatshirt. Did I forget to mention, it is 15 degrees below normal, a chilly 60 degrees, in August.

Enough for now. I am going on a date with Captian Morgan.
