Pismo SB
Penny worked on sketches of her grand daughters and I finally caught up on this writing. Then I took a shower and got a haircut. All right, all right, all right! Penny does it just right.
There was a International Space Station flyover at 5:37PM, so we bundled up and hiked over the darkening dunes to get a good look on a cloudless night. This was unusual in that it was moving SSE. Looking out at the Pacific, it appeared forward of our right, came right over our heads and disappeared to our left and a bit behind us. Our vantage from the top of the beachside dune was excellent and lasted about seven minutes. The orbit was just after sundown so the ISS was illuminated longer before it entered the earth’s shadow. We enjoy watching that little speck streak across the sky considering it a monument to human achievement and cooperation.
The flashlight was a monument to our forethought; it would have been very difficult to navigate the trail without it. Hot cocoa and the furnace were just the ticket. These rituals we enjoy continue to strengthen our bond. Friday 6AM Acoustic Cafe from WYCE in Grand Rapids is another treasured ritual.
