The "cold front" arrived yesterday morning. I must be a little snow: I felt quite self satisfied, knowing that my gloves are available "in case of need". Of course, the cold front is warm by Minnesota standards and, though it's still chilly, I am sitting on the balcony waiting for full sunrise. No gloves required.
We had a tasty lunch of somewhat greasy grouper nuggets -- a shared appetizer -- at Caddy's on the Beach at Treasure Island. After lunch, I walked on the boardwalk near Sunset Beach, a little swiftly because Bob was waiting for me at the fishing dock, and I knew there weren't many people to talk to, so boredom would be setting in and he'd want to be moving on.
When I arrived at the car, Bob was wiping blood off his arm. A frisky puppy had scratched him with his big claws and I immediately started worrying about rabies. I looked it up, and while transmission is possible, it's very unlikely. I didn't share this information, as he would immediately start foaming at the mouth. The dog scratch is healing so I'll just keep my fingers crossed on the rabies issue.
We had dinner ($10 per person for fish, fries, cole slaw, hush puppies, water or pop, and dessert) at our favorite vacation church, the very welcoming parish of St. John Vianney. The weekly Lenten fish fry is a major fundraiser attended by people (mostly seniors) from all the over country. We met couples from Delray Beach, Pennsylvania and Indianopolis in the short time we were there. The fried fish looked really good but I had the baked fish meal, all prepared by The Friendly Fisherman in John's Pass. Wine is available for a "donation", and I should have tried a glass from one the bottles, all open on a makeshift bar so you know what you're getting.
We saw the very end of the sunset on the beach across the street.
