Slow News Day

Not too much to report today, as far as Bermuda Shorts is concerned. Sure, there might be some political and public in-fighting going on about a proposed development deal at Tuckers Point, seventeen young ladies have entered the upcoming Miss Bermuda Pageant to fight for a spot in the 61st annual Miss World Pageant (view entry photos here) and a local eight-year-old was recently honored for writing her second book but other than that, all is quiet on the eastern front (not including the wails and coos of a recently born boy, of course). In the meantime I'll be kicking up my feet up and enjoying the view from the cheap seats—that, or changing yet another diaper, but relaxing on the beach sounds so much more romantic doesn't it? Until tomorrow...

A Bermudaful Day

It's 68 degrees and sunny, a.k.a. a Bermudaful day in these parts. That's all. Now go get back to work.

Bermuda, From a Distance

It's a considerably slow news day here in sunny Bermuda so I leave you with this—your official photo of the day. It was taken from approximately 700 kilometers above Earth by NASA's Landsat 7 satellite on August 14, 1999. Have a good long look and start counting those dots because contrary to popular belief, Bermuda is not one island but an archipelago of over 180 islands and cays. Ya know, in case you need a conversation starter at your next cocktail party. You can thank me later.

Slow News Day

This is what happens when you attempt to carve a pumpkin while participating in Bluewater Divers' annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest in Somerset, Bermuda. Not exactly fine art, but a worthy attempt nonetheless. Thanks to Bernews and Sergey Goncharov for the photo, because honestly, there's not much else to report on today. Happy November, folks!
