Shouldn't Blue POTUS be back on the cameras stomping around energetically for the presumptive DNC nominee already? This is a world leader, after all.
Reports said he had no fever almost a week ago and his own #CDCsays he's good to go per their guidelines, it's been far longer than the permissible 24hr of lounging around on the taxpayers' dime.
I'm on the Outer Banks! Interesting locations are in the diagram.
I traveled East from the Charlotte, NC area. Now, from one platform in the canopy of trees, I can photograph sunrises and sunsets every day - both over water. Where could this be?

Surprise! I'm at the #NCZoo.
Huge space here in Asheboro, NC. ZooAtlanta could fit in the African plains habitat alone.
Sorry, I accidently broke the thread...bandwidth constraints.
🧵
This zoo has a habitat so large, they drive you on a Zoofari through it.
Here's a 5400 pound rhino right next to me.
Nobody's guessed it yet. Mosuba, munching a few minutes ago, says keep trying. He was an 80s kid, born in 1983.
Hints: I'm in the US Southeastern region. This zoo trains Conservation Law Enforcement all over the world with their smartphone based SMART system. Exceptionally effective way to monitor animals and catch poachers. The system is *required* in over 20 countries.

...after listening to the #GreatAmericanSongbook at a show and getting into a mood:
1 When you smile, the whole world smiles with you.
2 When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasule, that's amore.
3 And all you Mastodon women - smart, creative with wicked wicked wit - if you were here, we would dance dance dance...all night.

30 seconds of cycling on island bike path with human road hazards.
Open video for handlebar view. Will someone get hit?

#WhereIsJoeNow (big hint)
Thirty seconds of sand surfing.
The tides on this island can be eight feet, leaving plenty of beach space when out. The sand can be hard-packed, so good for cycling with fat tires.
Check the hashtag at the top for more clues as to where I am this week.
Me: Hon, I'm going on a guided fishing trip this afternoon.
She: But you don't fish.
Me: It's a special program.

A long-lived Live Oak overlooks a marsh, creating a romantic spot for lovers.
Dusk falls on a marina that, looking at a map, is in the center of this island.

This sandy activity area for humans was confiscated by a sea turtle for egg laying. The humans will watch over it, though, because it takes a village. When the hatchlings "boil over", they will be directed to the beach by experts.
Sea turtle nesting is at record levels here. At night, humans have to keep lights down to a minimum. Mother turtles can then lay eggs. And hatchlings can follow the stars to the sea.
2/ (Monday)
Blue and gray skies this morning looking over the marsh. It is 75 degrees (converted into metric, this is 23 grams).
Look for clues all week, in anything written and photographed, even alt text. I will favorite correct guesses.
Coming up this week: kayaking, cycling, thick trunks, Black history, landscapes, jazz and more. But where am I?
