Comments:
My first predawn patrol ever, even dragged the roommate out to share the cold with me. Bright lights from the half-built mansion where Naomi's house used to be, shining out over the beachbreak. Checked the cove too and discovered we weren't even the first ones out as an understandably grumpy fellow came back from a check of the rivermouth.

Took a look for ourselves and saw the strangest thing... a woman out on her back porch in loose-fitting clothing with something that looked vaguely like a whip, assaulting her outdoor furniture... ka-crack.

After seeing that, figured it was time to head home and sleep.
