I’m about a 15 minute bike ride to the end of the world.
The Beach of the Dead is at the end there and I am going to bring a book called Green Lights and read it in my beach chair.
The beach is nothing but rocks and stones and you need sandals to walk on it as they can be quite painful to walk on. I’ll wait till the sun dips down a bit and isn’t so intense, probably around 4:30pm, and bring a little picnic basket with me in case I get hungry. The HVAC business is closed today for repairs. There was some kind of leak in the roof, so I have a slow day today with a few chores at home and then my ride to the beach. I have a new electric heating system that was installed last week because mine was not repairable. Summer is winding down and our days of endless volleyball on the beach will be ending soon too. I had a fun summer and ran my air conditioning a lot as it was a very hot season but that is going to end pretty soon. Winter will be rolling around again and the days will get short and dark very early. It’s a different kind of life here in the winter as the streets thin out and nobody is at the beaches anymore. I’ll keep taking my cold water dips and come home and heat myself up with a hot bath and my radiant space heater. I like winter time and am all ready for it!
