Tropical Depression

Not to worry, Hurricane Flossie has dissipated to an insubstantial mist. While I could see the looming clouds to the south yesterday, here it was sunny and I had a lovely ocean swim. I even encountered an elusive manta ray at the same place we saw spotted eagle rays on Sunday.


I couldn't manage a blog entry though, which I blame on Netflix. We watch a diverse array of films on a regular basis, including lots of foreign language flicks and some stuff which is definitely out there away from the Hollywood norm. But yesterday's movie, The Good Shepherd, threw me into an incapacitating funk. I would say that it was effective as a cautionary tale warning against too much power in the hands of too few. But I already knew about that danger (something I'll never have to worry about). Oooh, I shouldn't have brought that movie up, I feel things slipping awayyyyy
