A beginning can often come from the most unlikely of places. Sometimes you are forced into them, sometimes you stumble into them, and still, there are other times when you choose them. However you come to you it,  a new beginning is always full of challenges and possibilities.

We got an Uber ride in a Tesla last weekend and I was blown away at the understated elegance of the interior.

It was a 3 series Tesla, the driver said they paid $46,000 for it . I asked Kate which would you rather have, an entry level BMW or this car. The screen was large and high def, there was no clutter at all, it was spacious and elegant. Big three automakers should be ashamed of themselves. They should fire every automotive interior stylist.

I don’t know how an upstart auto manufacturer can absolutely destroy auto manufacturers that have had decade upon decades of time to refine their vehicles.

I want to learn more about these cars.

Vietnam Memorial Event Today

The recently relocated and redesigned Vietnam Memorial now has military flags flying to honor our local Vietnam veterans and those who lost their lives in the conflict. A ceremony is scheduled for 11:30 today at the new Stage Fort Park location near the tennis courts. The Veterans’ Day ceremony at the high school is scheduled for 9 AM and this event will follow at 11:30 am. It’s absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed for contemplation and remembrance and I hope you can stop by today or sometime soon to take a look. Stop, Reflect, Honor.

Rockport DPW Removes Long Beach Stairs and Footbridge access

Long Beach, Nov. 10, 2022

This year, several of the stairs had to be dug out several feet for removal.

Sign of winter coming: Saratoga Creek footbridge severed access between Cape Hedge and Long Beach until spring returns.

Sand is covering the rip rap in November 2022, not as high as 2011, and deposited the entire stretch. Sand depth shifts on Long Beach. Read more here in an older post from 2017.
