"Such mental haziness is in order, given the delightful vagueness of the terrain." - William T. Vollmann
Though the winds continue, they have relented somewhat from the hearty gales of the past days, and the mercury is rising, so there is reason to rejoice. There look to be slides taken from the shores this fine day, if one tempers one's expectations, and gives in to the notion that the act of simply being in the water and a small part of this communion we share is enough.
CHANNEL: It appears the zephyrs are still in play as we gaze towards the pole. Whitecaps and wind flaps mixed with an alarming lack of other motion are on the menu. Though two daring souls have ventured into the private waters of Seadrift, they gain only isolation, not the slides they seek. Keep an eye towards the future, friends...
PATCH: Ahhh yes, here's where one's attention should be focused on this fine morn, as a smallish horde has already begun the descent. Deep outside shapes are being enjoyed for what seems like eons, and hollers of approval are heard echoing from paint-covered walls. Again, the wind will attempt to play chess with the shapes, but it appears that sliding may win the day. Not necessarily stoked, but beautiful.
PACK IT IN. PACK IT OUT.
