I’ve written about speeders on Beach Drive before so you can imagine my glee that we now have one of those flashing spedometers across from Emma Schmits View Point. I just noticed it while walking the pooch. More to follow.
Update ~ October 9, 2008 8:30 am: Out for my morning walking of the dog…I can hear cars slowing down as the approach the automated speed limit sign. It’s working!
Beached along Beach Drive

This motor boat broke loose from it’s buoy sometime last night following a few days of wind and waves. Luckily handsome man and his brave son were able to rescue the boat which was found in front of Mee Kwa Mooks.
Wait a second, that’s no handsome man, that’s my husband! (ba-da-dum) Okay, I’m not Rodney Dangerfield.
I sincerely do thank our kind neighbor who let us know that our boat was not where it was suppose to be.
Tuck in tight tonight–more wind on the way.

Did you know that today, Sunday, September 28, 2008 is National Good Neighbor Day?
Good Neighbor Day started in Montana in 1971 by Mrs. Mattson. On September 18, 2008, the Senate passed a resolution recoginzing the importance of National Good Neighbor Day. (They must have passed this in their spare time).
If your neighbors are anything like ours, this will be a very easy day to celebrate!
