Hello, Geezer coming back to this forum. Paul B

This morning was one of my best beach walks in the 7 years I have been living here. I can't believe I never see anyone at that time watching the sunrise. You can't do it at 2:00 PM.

I get that many people have to work, I also did that for over 50 years but the retired people should really get out and see this at least once when the sea is angry.

There is a big storm off the east coast now and it is bringing in a lot of flotsam and jetson which is garbage and stuff that washes off boats. I am on the North Shore but the south shore is getting hit very hard.

I think this is a paddle boat under the sand

After the big storm yesterday, the beach was loaded with all kinds of seaweeds. I found this huge piece of Codium and it had a holdfast. That is important because normally I find it just floating and it is hard to glue to anything because the glue kills that area and the stuff floats around.

I didn't have anything to put it in so I placed it in a hole in this thing which I have no idea what it is but probably an alien artifact.

It will probably wash away by tomorrow but I was 2 miles from home and I didn't want it to dry out by the time I got home.

Luckily, at the stairs I take back I found another, smaller one with a holdfast so I dipped that one in the surf and brought it home and threw it in my tank. I will take a picture when the lights come on.

Does anyone know what this "Chicken" looking thing is? I know there are some farmers here.

Yesterday afternoon we went to a Pizza party behind a farm stand where this Italian "girl" maybe 40ish who is a chef invited us for brick oven, wood fired pizza. They had a couple of singers and maybe 50 people showed up. It was a nice time but there were peacocks, goats and this bird walking around.

What is it? Maybe a grouse, but I have no idea what a grouse is unless it has fins and gills.
