Every summer Newport is invaded by 19th century British mail coaches. Apparently, when the railroad took over the job of moving the mail over long distances in the UK and the US, the wealthy snapped them . . .

So a week after Hurricane Bill gave us those 20-footers, Tropical Storm Danny (a tropical depression by the time he passed offshore here) didn't kick up nearly as much fuss. Still, it was a good day for . . .

Our current not-so-nice weather (cloudy, gloomy, with scattered periods of heavy mist and drizzle) brought some slightly higher surf with it. I went down to Ruggles Ave. to see if any of the gang were . . .
