What do you do on a Christmas Eve Day that’s shattering centuries-old temperature records?
In the morning, head to Compo Beach. No reserving tables for that holiday barbecue!

A couple of hours later, take a nice stroll down Hillspoint Road. Be sure to wear a tank top!

I guess the New Year’s Polar Bear Plunge will be almost like a hot tub.
Lots of snow on local mountains in the Pacific Northwest to report.
And… enjoy the full moon tonight – the first Christmas full moon since 1977.
Merry Christmas Westport
This sidewalk looks familiar ~ I walked to and from Staples H.S. almost two miles for three years on this stuff, sometimes covered with snow and/or ice. (Long Lots Rd. and North AV. ~ twice a day). Probably excellent exercise, but how can one of the most affluent towns in America have such disgraceful walkways? As a teenager I shoveled our driveway, then set out for school in 3 inches of snow on this awful tarmac. I hope it’s better now.
