It’s unseasonably warm and foggy here in the outer banks. While usually folks here are complaining about the cold this time of year, they seem oddly uncomfortable with the warm. As if something is seriously wrong. El Niño is the rationale. While I like warm more than cold, winter here is relatively mild compared to further north. Winter also reduces tourism which could use some reduction one way or another. In winter it’s only the locals mostly, less traffic, shorter grocery lines and I get work done in winter that just isn’t happening in summer. Tourism brings some seriously ugly construction. Like this miniature golf course. This morning I was up early shooting waves and birds, yet I end up publishing Jurassic plastic. Hmmm, makes no sense. Yet I’m sure kids love it and if kids love it mom and dad are stopping. I too have played this mini golf course with friends and a cold beer. Warm continues for another few days I think. I’m headed for my bike while it lasts #outerbanks #beachgames
