They can't stop the music playing on

[ Today? Late following Jabberwocky. Tomorrow, possibly late just due to traffic. ]

To this date, Saturday, we still hadn't deployed my new bathing suit. But we had a day remaining, too, and an event bunny_hugger was looking enthusiastically forward to, albeit at an hour not quite so appealing.

( And so we went to the beach, and a nearby attraction, in particular a most amusing fountain. )

Rather than rush through traffic, bunny_hugger and I walked along the very dark shoreline up until we found a pier which ended over the water, and then walked back along a shoreline not deserted yet, but being deserted. It was a wonderful, beautiful evening, and we rode back home together delighted with the entire day.

Trivia: The United States Congress in 1816 set the border between Indiana and Michigan to be ten miles north of the southernmost point of Lake Michigan, saving Indiana from having a zero-dimensional beach front. Source: How The States Got Their Shapes, Mark Stein.
