On Monday I took an afternoon trip out to suburb resort towns Cascais and Estoril, which are on the Atlantic Ocean. In walking between the two along a beachfront promenade, I was surprised to see how high the seas were and how the waves were often crashing over the promenade itself. It wasn’t windy or stormy, so I don’t know what was going on. Almost the entire walkway was wet and sandy. No laying out on a beach that day!
On this one stretch, I had already headed for higher ground, but I could tell that others might not be so lucky, so here’s a bit of light schadenfreude that I recorded:
Trolley cars are abundant around Lisbon, though they’re typically overflowing with passengers, especially tourists. One interesting thing I saw was that a driver stops the trolley at some turns, gets out with a long crowbar thing and levers it into the tracks to manually switch directions! Then she gets back in and continues along. Cool, old-school!
Today’s dad joke: How should one describe the German woman who’s digging a tunnel while worried about its structural integrity?
She’s a burrowed Frau with a furrowed brow!
Today’s limerick:
At Lisbon's seaside comes a crashing wave
The fragile beaches they will need to save
Pounding water and sand
You'll quickly understand
How a calmer ocean you will soon crave.
Today’s travel quote:

You keep reminding me of towns that I visited. Of course almost 60 years dims my memories. Cascais and Estoril.
The lady changing the trolley tracks with a crow bar just begs for a reference to the classic ethical dilemma “The Trolley Problem.” Hopefully she never has to decide which person / people to run over on the tracks!
This may be your best Dad Joke. The video reminds one of hurricane footage often seen in the U. S. The hill with the trolley car could have been San Francisco.
