Earlier this morning, I was not certain of which way the day was going to go, but now the sun seems to be winning the battle of sun and clouds.

We are lucky to be starting out the day at 55F.  Much of North Carolina is in the forties and there are some places even in the thirties.  And in the category of I am glad that I am not living there, Edmonton, Alberta where we have some old friends is waking up to 28F and light snow showers.

The weathermen have laid out a forecast that calls for clearing this afternoon and a temperature of 70F.  For the 3rd of November I will take that forecast and run with it.

Every day in the seventies between now and March is pure victory and territory that we need to hold.  Last evening I went down to the sound to take some pictures, but they ended up far too gloomy to share.  They are definitely not candidates for my webpage where I favor blues and warm reds.

Last evening I did a couple of post, one where I set up a poll.  If you had a choice between new computer hardware or a faster Internet connection which would you take.  You can vote at my Our Technological Infirmity blog.  I also did a post about my buddy, the green heron.  I included some shots of blue and white herons from the area.

Yesterday's gloomy weather and cool temperatures kept me inside most of the day.  When I went out later in the day, I even put on blue jeans for the first time down here since spring.  I managed to add a listing to the real estate page, and send out some electronic flyers.

We continue to see individual properties drop in price when their owners become very serious about moving them.  There are some great buys around now. I doubt some of these will be available next summer.  I can think of one with a fantastic view of the water and another in Cedar Point close to everything.

Speaking of buying property and in the same breath taking responsibility for your own actions, I did a post recently that has been of interest to lots of people.

Hopefully I will manage to get out on the water today so I can share some pictures of my adventure.
