jumping the gun

On a nice day it seems impossible that we won't have a season on Block Island. All over town restaurants are installing outdoor seating and there is a flurry of painting and ordering and trips to the dump. The grocery store has opened to a few customers at a time, and they even have toilet paper. The ferry put on more boats a day. The stairs down the dunes to the beach have been installed. The telephone truck is on the move, and the Internet has slowed down. But the town council meets today to discuss new regulations, so we'll see. Meanwhile, with the help of my nice nieces, I am proceeding to get ready to open as well.
