beach renourishment

Notably: Flagler Beach City Commissioner Rick Belhumeur tends to be a roving reporter and Zelig in his own right, always where something is happening, especially but not necessarily on the barrier island. He has a good eye for photography, too. Last Tuesday he reported on his Facebook page the latest preparations for the $27 million beach renourishment project getting under way from North 6th Street to the water tower:  “For those of you who haven’t noticed, there has been a lot of activity over the last couple days in Flagler Beach. The clearing of the Pebble Beach land to be used by the Army Corps contractor as the souther beach access point has commenced. Also on the south end of town, the equipment needed by the FDOT contractor to bore holes for the seawall have started arriving on site. On the west side under the bridge the FDOT right of way has been cleared of all Brazilian pepper trees. The before and after photos show the dramatic change. And downtown on the beach just north of the pier, one of the pier’s pilings came dislodged and became a huge water hazard. Ocean Rescue, Public Works and Sanitation Departments worked as one to remove it from the water and evacuate it from the beach to be disposed of. Enjoy the photos.”

“There is, then, no water that is wholly of the Pacific, or wholly of the Atlantic, or of the Indian or the Antarctic. The surf that we find exhilarating at Virginia Beach or at La Jolla today may have lapped at the base of antarctic icebergs or sparkled in the Mediterranean sun, years ago, before it moved through dark and unseen waterways to the place we find it now. It is by the deep, hidden currents that the oceans are made one.”

–From Rachel Carson’s The Sea Around Us (1951).

    Mr. Tristam includes a potential heat index value of up to 108 degrees today. Thank you, Mr. Tristam, for the notice.

    I implore all employers of outdoor workers to take whatever steps are necessary to protect their employees from harm.

    We all owe a duty of care to those with whom we interact. Sometimes that means the very slight effort it takes to look both ways before entering a motorway. Sometimes, it means that more effort is appropriate. If you see your lawn service worker(s) sweating in oppressive heat today, offer them a cold bottled water. It might make all the difference. If you need AC repair in your attic this afternoon, it might mean the offer of an extension cord and a fan to reduce the harmful effects of the extremely hot attic air.

    @I agree with 1951’s Rachel Carson

    Carson warned us all — and this what we (by our priorities) chose:

    DeSantis vetoes bill to bolster warnings about Florida’s polluted waters
    The governor said the bill was “ill-advised,” but one of the measure’s sponsors argued he’s ignoring the state’s water quality problems.

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis released its latest monthly report today.

    The PCE Price Index reflects a 12-month average rate of inflation of 2.6%, the lowest annualized rate in over three years. The rate matched Wall Street’s forecast. The Fed considers this report one of the more accurate of the many monthly reports issued by researchers.

    Another report, commonly called “core inflation”, stripped of more volatile food and energy data, slowed to an annualized rate of 3.4%, the slowest in more than two years.

    If I understand these two figures accurately, the measures taken by the Fed to control inflation continue to reveal a steady downward track towards the goal of 2% inflation annualized over a rolling 12-month average. The 12-month rolling average provided a less volatile measure of inflation than does individual monthly reports. For example, when compared to last month’s inflation data, not measured at an annualized rate, PCE Price Index data showed a 0.1% inflation rate, which if that one-month rate were maintained for 12 straight months, it would result in a 1.2% inflation rate, well below the desired 2.0% rate. But it is less accurate to rely on month-to-month data, hence the preferred 12-month rolling data of 2.6% being used by the Fed.
