Another monster storm. Lightning crashed all night. Wind and rain. Pouring rain. Last big storm, we had a problem with rain blowing up under one of the slides and getting the inside carpet wet, so this time we pulled the bedroom driver-side slide in when the storm first started. That worked. When the storm ended today, we put the slide back out. All dry inside. Mid-day today, it wasn’t warm, but it was sunny and calm. I went for a run on the beach and discovered I’m a trendsetter. About a mile down the beach, a guy, obviously not from around here, looked up at me and said, “Am I glad to see you. I wanted to take my shirt off, but I didn’t want to be the only crazy guy on the beach.” and off came his shirt. Well, there you go: he got to be crazy guy number two. Piping plover and snowy plover.

Padre island
You park your motorhome on the beach, never know what will take shelter next to it.
Meanwhile
We put the trailer lot in Louisville up for sale. We’re digitally exchanging “offer”, “counter offers” on it as we speak.
Exciting times, clearing out of Colorado real estate for real estate in other states.

Along the way
The elusive gilded flicker. This isn’t a wild bird, he’s in a giant aviary, but we got several good looks at flickers flying free too.
