Storm Force 2 at the beach yesterday, which sounds impressive, though it is not: “light breeze”, “small wavelets” or “wind felt on the face, leaves rustle”. It was a Cape Cod evening yesterday at Huntington Beach, or at least, it was what I imagine Cape Cod might be like at the end of summer, with most of the people gone and the warmth slipping away like wasted youth. Just one more weekend to wear those white shoes. Not that such conventions matter here on the West Coast. But I feel it. Summer is almost fully done. Not yet today, or tomorrow even, or even this coming weekend—but next week for sure.
