Cool, windy, a few drops of rain, quite nice actually for a turning of the season day. A run of warm summery weekends & a very pleasant afternoon at Seaside Heights last Tuesday with Rose & Jim Coleman hardly prepared me for today's weather, I skipped the Seafood Festival in downtown Point Pleasant Beach. Not that I would've been eating much seafood - maybe a crabcake sandwich - but I wanted to visit the bike & book shops & also meet the people from the small Central United Methodist Church there, whose activities I've been vicariously sharing online.
The wheels & rides were closed at Seaside Heights, most of the arcades & food stands open. Rose Coleman & I went wading, the only occasion this summer I set foot in the ocean; I regretted not bringing a bathing suit to Asbury Park last weekend. Didn't unpack my camera all day. At one point I was becoming upset because I thought the wooden fortuneteller had been removed from Casino Pier - there was never a time when it wasn't there ("You can trust a wooden grandmother even when her bulb is burned out"), but I finally located her near the front entry. She gave me a rather unsettling fortune card.
You've been restricted someway which has made you blue. Do not feel bad as the net is spread so wide. No one doing wrong can escape from its sweep. The nets meshes are so fine and strong they take in every child of wrong. O wondrous web of mystery! Big fish alone escape from thee! Be careful of peril know when to stop and cheer up.
A "Split Decision" breakfast at IHOP did cheer me up, if I wasn't already.
