Winter is coming.
Beach house, Corolla, North Carolina.

Corolla's at a place on the Outer Banks where the peninsula is whisper-thin. You can walk from ocean to sound in a few minutes. I haven't done it, myself, but from our house we can see both waters.

Tonight, the air is clear, and from the rooftop deck, I could see the celestial hemisphere, only somewhat dimmed by the lights of human contagion. The Milky Way was directly overhead, and for the first time this season, I saw Orion, and I knew then that winter is coming.

But for now, beach.
