sun rises at 0700, sets at 1659. A ten hour day. That is a long time to spend in a tent in Lee Park, shuttling between the porta-potties and the kitchen. When will the CHO Council tire of the Occupiers? Public hearing scheduled on the subject tomorrow night.

Irene


Lighter than air craft headed for calmer skies, bearing west. This was August 26, above the Mattaponi Bridge on Rt. 360, near Aylett, VA.


Friday was a sultry day, high humidity. I didn’t irrigate the trees, the weather forecast claims that won’t be necessary.


Irene’s rainy self arrived around dawn on Town Creek. At high tide (1000hrs), this boat which usually hangs four feet above the water was floating. Everything is getting power-washed. Steady winds from the northeast. Reminds me of Solaris and Water World. Hoping that Irene will stay good tempered.
