Day 18 - Gov Patterson, Neptune Beaches

Our first visit: Gov. Patterson beach, where we will go for a walk waiting for low tide.

We always have to throw out a challenge for our friend George - who is a real estate agent. How about this one George? Location! location! location! Cozy with a thoughfully crafted entrance way.

Unbelievable!! The Black Helicopters have found us! We thought they had all been deployed to Iran.

The thing the Black Helicopters are so excited about: we found this prototype coral brain. Wendy has it. It is at least a match for OpenAI, and can code much better. It runs on sunlight.

Wind blows my fur. I could get used to this.

Simoné looks on with amusement at Wendy's antics.

Beach debris extraordinaire!

A creature emerges. Not an easy feat.

row row row your boat ..... on some beach debris .....

We move over to Neptune Beach at low tide. The local troupe of Cirque de Soleil is performing their handsprings in the surf.

The Team on the top of the lava fingers.

In the small ponds, fed by brackish water containing vital rare earth elements, the Sentient Clams test out their new algae power source. Soon, they will have megawatt capability.

#82. The Larch.

Where lava meets the sea. It is not clear who wins.

The Sentient Clams make use of all these lava ponds. They have even built a bridge over this one, visible at the far end of the pond.

Another bridge. Those clams have been very busy.

Simoné could care less about algal power generation. This log smells like snacks.

Yup. snacks.

Ask and yee shall receive.

Big long sticky lava fingers - good eats for sentient clams.

A bit 'o beach art. Sentient clams are great appreciators but rely on other elements to produce the work. They are far too occupied with power sources.

Crazy erosion. The root systems of the trees have been entirely exposed by the crumbling cliff. No wonder the trees are dead.

The Giant Sea Stars clamber out of the pond looking for their natural prey: hot dogs. They like Hebrew Nationals, a taste they acquired from Whiskey Jacks.

Don't you know ... I'm the star of the show ...

Our afternoon at Neptune features most of the earth elements.

The shifty sand patterns are in color today. Where are the Black Helicopters?

Drawing a few lines in the sand.

Shifty sands are again apparent and scare away this Spring chicken - leaving her eggs behind.

The sentient clams have a special reserve pool. It's chock full of a multitude of sea creatures. The belief is the highly specialized properties of each species - when combined with the qualities of rare earth elements - will provide an electrifying boost to power capacity.
