with
the forecast calling for rain today and with clouds at this early hour I
decided to chance it and drove over to the beach anyway hoping for a
'red sky in the morning--sailor take warning' kinda pre-Sunrise colorful
sky.. I was not disappointed.. 56* with little to no wind and hazy
conditions.. lots of clouds out and about but the sky put on a nice
colorful show..
