Sorry Folks, Beach Closed





Pensacola beach is closed again. Sounds like it will be closed for quite a while this time. Workers are spending each day out on the beach carrying out some cleanup efforts. But just the other day, when I took the pictures of the lighthouse posted above, I didn't see any sign of oil or effects of the spill on the beach, but something must have washed ashore since then. The heat and humidity is still fairly extreme here. "Oppressive" is the word most often heard when describing it. We've had a couple of record hot days with the heat index over 115. If we cool off a little bit one of these nights I'll take a walk over to Fort Barrancas (local fort originally built as a Spanish Fort in 1698, and rebuilt in 1787 and again in 1839) and will post some pictures of the fort.
