| Pablo with his ducky who accidentally wound up in the laundry. Nice clean ducky, and he still squeaks! |

| The collection of balls that have resurfaced in the process of fixing and painting the house. They were all under the furniture or somewhere. Pablo doesn't chase balls much, so I think a lot of these are leftovers from Cid. |

| This is the new beach access, complete except noone has been back to clean up the debris. Some nice scrap lumber there. |

| The deck. Notice, no seats. |

 |
| Going down to the beach. Different than it used to be, it's got a platform that's a step lower than the deck, then the stairs. |
 |
| Beach looking southeast. No dunes, no plants, part of a jetty sticking out. Also no people, but it's cloudy and has been raining a bit here and there. |
 |
| Beach looking northeast. A couple of hardy plants are coming back on their own. |

Interestingly, the beach is being swept clean by the wind and tides, there are very few shells, no driftwood and no sea glass. I've never seen it so empty of stuff. We're supposed to be getting replenishment sometime, soon, I hope, and the dunegrass project will plant new dunes, and maybe it will start looking like it used to look. Still, after what Sandy did, it's amazing there's any beach left at all. Replenishment and dune building do work, it took almost 20 years for the storms and the tides to take away what was put there by the last replenishment project. And nobody really knows for sure what Sea Bright would look like today if we didn't have the dunes there to help protect us.
