Still no inspiration for my next vacation. Here's a free desktop from my last vacation, Ocracoke. Well, it's not a picture of Ocracoke. It's a picture from the ferry that runs to Ocaracoke.

I'm not going to Milwaukee in August, I'm going in September or the beginning of October. I've divided what's left into two short vacations. In August I"ll have to find something a little closer to home to jog out to so I can keep cool.

The two worst months of the year are February and August. Both are extremes that arrive at the end of the season when my patience has ended.

My Next Vacation: Milwaukee, Wisconsin in August. Why? One of my sons is returning there with his family after a year in Japan.
