Got out no problem. A nice walk down the south beach for two miles plus the three at home made five. All kinds of eagles. Time to cook up some cheesy brats.
 Took a new path that included the long jetty/pier/whatever-it-is out into the lake. On that pier I chatted up a fisherperson. He reported the fishing has been very good off the shore. The walleye prefer the deep water in the summer but move into the shallow when it gets cooler. He reported catching perch, walleye, bluegill and bass. Yesterday he caught a pike. He was proud of that. Sort of like a shark. He was from Wisconsin. Comes down here to fish. And work at a local farm though I believe that work is for the McDonald’s that allows him to keep fishing. Anyways, there’s fish in them waters.
 The Redbird Trail runs along the lakeshore. One side is the lake, the other is an extremely dense thicket. It is a perfect place for bunnies to sneak out onto the path and eat grass. The dogs love it. If not watching, they will go twenty-six feet into the thicket and hang themselves up on a tree. And then the fun starts trying to get them out. Hacking into the thicket is sometimes the only option. It is important to keep them from going in too far. Here's Odo who carries a good portion of the thicket with him when he emerges.
We took a poll and all three of us decided to stay another day. Yahoo. Took more walks, roasted more brats. Started setting up the new Galveston website. What we did see, and what I could not get a video of, was a flock of about twenty seagulls who were behaving exactly like a flock of purple martins. Flying at about a hundred feet, they were dodging and weaving. Changing directions in mid-flight. Darting. They were eating bugs. Never experienced that. A good time.
