Storm Isaias has mostly passed over us, and we remain largely unaffected save for a few hours of power outage. Neighbors have fared similarly well, with a few fallen branches, but minimal damage to health and home.
I hope everyone else is faring as well or better.

Swampwalk isolation day 143
Morning walk at 730, after a heavy rain early this morning made the shade cooler, but as the sun grew stronger the mist turned to a steam bath. August gotta August, man.
While in the cooler morning shade, I saw a new [to me] neighborhood cat, that looked a *lot* like old neighbor cat Archie Wood from about a decade ago. Totally fluffernutter – longhaired orange/tan and white mix, just laying out on a front lawn, belly and paws soaking up the morning dew, looking very contented. That alone made the walk worth my while. No sign of Panda or AlienCat.
Other critters spotted were six squirrels, a gold finch, two ospreys, one turkey vulture, a few small brown birds I couldn’t identify, and a good size gang of gnats cloud-swarming in a six foot tall column. (They did not successfully communicate with me, nor did the column try to take human shape, thankfully)
An animal I did not see directly went rushing though the thick foliage on the other side of the water, gave me a bit of a fright. It was big, most likely a deer. I was more concerned it might be another human or maybe a coyote like the one I saw a few years back. The brush and leaves shook not unlike old Kong moving through the jungles of Skull Island, where you could see the wake of motion without spotting the beastie itself. I apologize to the probable deer for disturbing their breakfast.
With that, I think I am due some breakfast myself. Mrs made a yummy quiche that is calling my name. She went gangbusters this weekend, making that, a blueberry pie, stuffed cabbage, green curry veggies and homemade hummus. I am glad that her cooking skills are so awesome. Once we wade through those delicious leftovers, I am going to figure something to do with the pseudo beef, maybe meatballs or burgers?
We still have some eggs left, maybe devil some or make another quiche with broccoli and soysage? Stir fry is a possibility too. We have a nice selection of peppers.

from @chesapeakebayfoundation The face I make when someone says they don’t vote… With fewer than 100 days until Election Day, make sure you’re registered and that you vote with the Bay in mind this November! From osprey and rockfish, to the teeniest-tiniest mushroom in the middle of a PA forest—so many plants and animals rely on a healthy rivers, streams, and Chesapeake Bay. Who you vote for at the local, state, and federal levels play a HUGE part in restoring and protecting the Bay. Check out the link in our bio for five proven and cost-effective actions that elected officals and candidates should take to help make our waters clean and healthy. Not sure what their stance is? Ask them! You’ll also find resources for all the logistics surrounding voting, including voter registration, election rules, and finding your polling place.

Mothman flapping like crazy to get out of the summer heat.
Getting ready to grill some impossible burgers to go with the remainder of our squash for supper. Hope everyone is having a lovely night.

isolation day 138, continued
Swampwalk
Went bright and early this morning, after last night’s rain. Weather was ok in the shade, about 75f or so. Sun got strong quickly, though, maybe a dawn swamp walk is in order.
Saw very few birds, maybe 3 grackles and a robin. No mosquitoes or gnats which was a pleasant surprise.
Two squirrels and no sign of alien cat or black and white kitty. I saw a rustling in the woods, but have no idea if it was a fox, cat or possum.
Spotted a cargo plane overhead through the clearing, probably headed to Andrews Air Force Base. There hasn’t been as much air traffic over town in that direction lately, I wonder what dynamic changed? There are times we would see air force one (or marine one), along with a couple of fighters alongside but maybe they are on a new route.
Air conditioning is still working at home for the moment, but I remain cautiously hopeful that it will remain.
