A dog perch ... for ladies only.

This somehow represents a three-day weekend ... …

"Why does everyone want me to lick this? ..."

Thursday, July 30, 2015: South winds will have their way this afternoon, blowing away fluking, except for the truly dedicated. Not to worry, a frontal passage…

Wednesday, July 29, 2015: The winds were quite light this a.m. and allowed for some nice surfcasting and plugging in the suds. It was nice … not productive.

Here's a Surf City beach look from today (1 pm). It's one of my Weather Service video communiques. 

The south winds have begun and could be a bit monotonous for days to come. Boat…

Look closely at the hand falling off. I guess there's a life lesson in there somewhere but that little guy ain't gonna be right in the head for a long-ass time: …

Of course, there are the throws made to the pitcher without signals…

Friday, July 24, 2015: Winds have swung around to the north … and held steady. Waves are still small, though up to a couple feet from the wind. Water temps for Surf City are mid to upper 70s.

This weekend is shaping up very nicely, though traffic flow will go into another tailspin throughout the weekend. I’m a proverbial old timer and I don’t remember parked traffic in Ship Bottom ever being this packed in…

Thursday, July 23, 2015: We’re on some sorta gorgeous-day roll. If possible, today is nicer than yesterday, as mild onshore ocean breezes have caused bugs to bug off. At the same time, the Island is still crawling with dragonflies, the best natural friends a fly-hater can have.

This is the…

This dog either hates or loves cole slaw ... hard to say. 

Wednesday, July 22, 2015: What a day! Come on, admit that I put an amazing one out there for midweek folks to luxuriate…

Without sunscreen no less.

Awesome! An IKEA in Germany installed a "Parking Lot for Dogs", So customers don't leave their dogs in hot cars while in store.…

Sunday, July 19, 2015: I just left the beach (1 pm) and a south wind was blowing -- but nothing critical. As predicted, early morn…

Below: You know as well as me he's somehow gonna catch effin' bloody hell for this ... 

Below: Hell, even I don't know what I would do in this instance. Maybe I'd even nonchalantly look on like the guy on the right. …

Career changes suck ... 

As I was dropping something off at the art studio, I managed to win the day's "It was worth a try!" award.…

Too busy to write today ... maybe later 

Check this video: Sand tiger shark makes a great guard dog for fish monger ... (I know I put it up last year -- but with all the shark commotion ...) …

Why some people shouldn't have rainy indoor days ... 

Wednesday, July 15, 2015: Today’s a.m. thunderstorms were exceptional sounders. I’m a big fan of thunderboomers. The T-storm sound effects today were exceptional – and close.…

Who needs a dog when the kid has a nice cat to play with? ... Damn, cross off a right eye. 

Tuesday, July 14, 2015: Checkerboard day of sun followed by a drenching storm then a crystal clear sun session. The second run of sun was immaculate, shining through rain- and lighting-cleaned air. You…

You gotta begin with a bored-sick fan bass to organize a mass toiletpaper toss like this ...  Yep, soccer. 

Monday, July 13, 2015: Sun, warmth and wind. The beach is duly summerish, with water temps in the low- to mid-70s and many a person taking in some of the finest sandy beaches anywhere. Yes,…

All this talk about shark bites. There's more to bite-life. …
