From the beach 1/20/12

• Went beachwalking in the afternoon gray and chill to escape the noise of jackhammering and cement sawing going on all day at the resort next door.  Hearing the swish of the waves soothed my jangled nerves.
• Met a new friend, Daisy.  Rescued from being starved and beaten in Gatlinburg, she's headed tomorrow to a nice family with kids in Raleigh.  A Husky and Beagle mix, she has ice blue eyes and a short reddish coat.  And what a sweetie!  She ran right up to me for a get-acquainted rub.  Glad she's going to a good home.
• Saw my peg-legged seagull.  Been wondering about her.  Seems to be doing fine with only one foot.  You go, Girl.
• Saw "Mom is a poo poo head" written in the sand in HUGE letters.  And facing directly at the balconies of a hotel.  Someone definitely wanted Mom to see that message.  Wonder what Mom did to be such a poo poo head?
• And now I'm back to the jackhammering and jangled nerves.  I hope quitting time is 5 o'clock for these noisy yayhoos.  If not, I may have to crack open the wine mighty early today.
