Well, this was a first. Swimming in a warm October ocean, no wet suits, no rash guards even, no extra measures at all, no chill. Warm water, warm air temperatures, house guests in from Boston for the weekend, sun block, sand castles, chicken on the barby, jeez louise, enough already! It's like Groundhog Day down here, we're stuck on Labor Day, the summer that won't quit. The non air-conditioned house at the shore is wilting like it's August. Was a rare enough kick to cool off in the ocean on Saturday, but the whole thing is getting just a little weird and, well, monotonous. September was nice enough. Bring on the chill.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
