Remember yesterday when I said the clouds had parted and the sun came out? Well, that was short lived, because Tuesday was back to Drearyville--do not pass Go, do not collect $100. (Or is it $200? I never had much patience for Monopoly.) In case you didn't know, Drearyville is a suburb of Unemployment City, where Chesapeake Bay Woman has lived for the past several weeks.
Monday's spectacular sunshine reverted immediately to Tuesday's overcast skies and continued unemployment due to the government shutdown.

Luckily I still have photos from the one day the sun came out.
These were taken from Bavon, at the end of Old Bayside Drive.

| This is a grainy shot of the lighthouse, zoomed way in. My camera has a decent zoom, but the quality of the images isn't always great, mostly due to the person using it and her general lack of technical skills. |

Wait. I went to some country club before. A wedding. Decades ago. Golf carts were
Whatever. So I've been to at least one country club before, but never the West Point Country Club.
This blog post, which has flitted from sunshine to vague Monopoly references to Drearyville and its suburbs to country clubs and pixie dust, is now mercifully coming to a close.

I'm sorry your unemployment has continued too long to be considered an unexpected vacation.
I'm glad payments to wounded veterans have been reinstated, however.
What about Social Security payments? If I read about those, I've forgotten. You know me, I can forget anything.
Hi to your family, especially your mom. In fact, please give her a hug from me, and she can give you one back.

So you stole a golf cart years ago? I wondered where you got your excellent driving skills on the gator! Now I know! Enjoy your time off. Hopefully you'll get a nice paycheck when it's over and still have your vacation time intact!!
I can only imagine the havoc you wreked at the unnamed NoVa country club... it comforts me that your tendency toward driving four-wheeled open-air vehicles at breakneck speeds was established many years ago.
