Friday Morning around Midnight Oct 30...

I walk out of my place, can't sleep, I have someone, something, everything, nothing on my mind.  All of it's positive.  I just feel lucky, completely, utterly lucky.

There's a full moon tonight, or maybe it just looks close to one, cause its been so bright lately.  It's easy to see in the tides.  Surfing, or attempted surfing, had me keeping the eye on the tides since I got here.  It's like all the canoeing I did back home left me peeking over every bridge I drove over to see the creek or river below.  Full moons change the highs and lows of the tide.

So I walk out of my place, cross the "road" and in another hundred feet Coral Sands beach is under my feet.  I don't know who named it that, but it's far less glorious than you might guess from reading this, but its no less spectacular in what it offers.  The clouds out here hang low in the sky.  It has to be the dew point, the point where moisture condenses and rain falls (I think).  In Ohio, in the summer, its around 4000 ft, out west where the humidity is much higher it can be 17,000ft.  Cloud base here seems to be much lower.  It has to be the humidity.  3000ft.  That is my guess as to the cloud base.  They may start low, but they have that same height that you would see in a on of those cumulous nimbous deals...the storm clouds found in the Midwest in summer.  So the moon is shining on these clouds.  Shining and making them very white way up high, while lower portions and lower clouds stay dark.  Ok so that's my best attempt to put it to words...let me just say its gorgeous, and I am completely fortunate to witness it.
