Dramatic morning. Thunderstorm. And yet me and Charlie get out for a walk. Then, more thunderstorms. Then I get out for a long bike ride. I take the bike trail up Edgartown Road past the airport. Crazy amounts of state police all along the way. Then a motorcade with twenty or so black SUV’s––a dramatic exit from the island for Vice President Kamala Harris who has been here this weekend for fund raisers. Rainy, cloudy, stormy day and I got a lot of work done. The first craft article I sent out this summer was accepted, no changes requested, and I was pleased about that. Tonight, after dark, my daughter has arrived with Wave and we play flashlights and monsters in the yard under the stars. Apparently this neighborhood isn’t used to fun after dark. Two police cars in the driveway checking us out! (And we’re not even connected to the Vice President!) They were actually quite friendly and nice and ended up being part of a fun end to a stormy day.
