This week we&#8217;re dealing with tree damage at home from Sunday&#8217;s storms. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you decide which is better, but it certainly wasn&#8217;t this time last year. <\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s talk about last week, instead. <\/p>\n<p>One afternoon we just played in the waves. The water was almost rough, but we had a nice time getting beat up. There&#8217;s nothing to this video, but a little girl&#8217;s smile in an adult&#8217;s happiness.   <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x910sma\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" allowfullscreen title=\"Dailymotion Video Player\" > <\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I recorded quite a few of those. Most aren&#8217;t very well composed &#8212; waves &#8212; but, looking at them now, they were consistent. Every time the wave slipped away from her, she stood up and immediately turned for the next one. She&#8217;s not even aware of it. It&#8217;s an ingrained move, one stemming from years playing in the waves. That&#8217;s what I love. <\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s always looking ahead.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerscuba.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>These were the best clips from our two-tanks of diving in Cozumel. As you can see, the visibility was pretty low, but we did see a few nice things. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x910spe\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" allowfullscreen title=\"Dailymotion Video Player\" > <\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll cut these into individual pieces for anyone who plays favorites.
