The lion and lamb have been in a battle for dominance all through the month of March here in the Mid-Atlantic region. The past two days have been no exception with Saturday a balmy beach-walking seventy-three degrees and today a drizzly affair unable to break the forties.
Year round residents of this beach community have been at a loss at to whether they should be waxing their surfboards or prepping their snow shovels. This confusion was captured perfectly by a man walking at the water's edge today. Wearing swim trunks so that he could splash shin-deep in the ocean, the man also sported a down filled parka with the hood pulled up against the stiff breeze.
Then again - maybe the man was more confused than most. To choose to wade in forty-three degree water calls clear thinking into question in and of itself. But to make that choice knowing his top half would be wrapped in Eskimo attire....well I know it left me without any impression of sanity.
Perhaps his feet had been sweaty......
