Early morning,  8:15 if anyone cares,and it's starting to be busy on the water- early fishers, surfers, swimmers, and my favorites, the dogs and the very little children- many still infants who can laugh and play in the water with the same pleasure that the dogs have....not looking to see who is watching, not making sure their swimsuits look right - just splashing and rolling and leaping in the water. Fast, slow, easy , strong

Jesus is here by 8- works till 11 then lunch til 2 30 or 3 - only common sense to stay out the mid day sun - works til he can't see at night -


The female of the pair of neighbor hood crackheads was by this moring begging - the man came the other day - the ploy is to come in and ask for 5 gallons of water (each of them carries a huge jug)- they scope out the house and steal whatever they can if you are foolish anough to allow them to come in )- I used to fill the jug a little while letting them remain outside- I couldn't imagine turning away a request for water until I understood what was going on - you can't always stop the stealing   but with a locked gate, and barred windows you sure can slow them down - and no it is no more risky than living in a small New England town where they have drug problems.
