Wednesday is early release day, so I was in the water the minute I could sneak out of there. I went to tenth street, and didn't even look at it first. I had to get into the water. Our days of warm water are numbered.
It was such a nice surprise to come over the dune line and see the water was crystal green. I don't think I have seen the water as clear as today for a long, long time. It was so inviting and warm. I could see a nice peak working with a bunch of guys on it. The Flagler College guys are back. The water was filled with them, just like every year this time. Two guys near me were so stoked, one talking about how this was the best day he had had in a long time. I heard bits and pieces, something about how his fins were completely out, and well, I had to admit it was a lot better than it looked. There were some really nice peaks rolling through, despite the wind being onshore. I had wave after wave on the Firewire that had my heart beating fast. I love that board! Plus, Michael Arnold, my favorite professor of all time, paddled out near me! Good times.
On a bleaker note... I was informed today that the buzzing sounds I have been hearing of late, not to mention the little critters I have found on my windowsill, are evidence of something a bit disturbing. My landlady had the pest control company come out today, and they discovered a massive beehive inside the wall behind my refrigerator. They actually used the word, "massive." It kind of feels like my own little shop of horrors around here now.
I will have to move out for a couple days while the wall is knocked out. A beekeeper will be called in, since honey bees are on the endangered list. The power company will have to come out and cut off the power. When my landlady came into my apartment today, she said she could hear the disturbing sound of humming if you were really still, which I never am. She warned me not to shut the cabinet doors too hard. I just hope they aren't that African variety that attack without provocation.
Should make for an interesting week. More to come...
