Clear, Cold, and Windy

It’s clear, 38 degrees F, and windy. It’s also December 30th so perhaps the latter two should be expected. The photo, taken from my deck, looks north across Dyes Inlet toward Alaska Silverdale. It doesn’t show the whitecaps as well as I hoped or any windsurfers, a species seldom found this far north in winter. Come to think about it, paddleboard man hasn’t been out for a few days either, although I haven’t been looking for him. I was gone over Christmas visiting family in Del Mar, CA, where it rained about as much as it did here.

For the record this post is the first written with a used replacement keyboard I got this morning at Northwest Computer for $5. The old one died yesterday after being swamped by a serious coffee spill. Who knows what inspiring prose the replacement keyboard’s previous owner wrote with it. Hopefully it will inspire me to do more writing in 2011.
