Because of snow and slush that froze solid overnight in the 26 degree temps, I will not be braving the winding back road to make my daily sunrise pilgramage to see the Kelp Gull. However, I am positive that the sun will rise without my presence, and I am equally confident that the gull will be in its usual place on the pier behind the Sea Breeze. I'll go for an early lunch break at 11, and ask my husband Tyler Bell to post then (I don't have email access from work).
