The ultimate commute

ByNancy

WOW! Speaking of living on the waterfront.

I called my daughter this morning and found she’s on vacation in Hawaii. Cell phones are almost worth the montlhy payment to keep them going.

I knew she was departing soon, but didn’t know the day, so my call found her just back from a dawn walk on the beach. She said she was sitting there admiring the sunrise when a guy came out of the water wearing mask and fins.

They talked a little. He said he worked at the hotel where she’s staying and lives just down the beach. He SNORKLES to work every morning! That’s a Hawaii commute.

I’m anxiously awaiting the promised pictures.

  • Oil Spill

    The morning after Tropical Storm Bonnie pummeled Beaufort, we woke to find oil in the water around Sunshine. Thick, shiny, black, it lay trapped between the finger piers in a 1/4 inch deep pool. The marsh grasses that always float on the water and collect between boat and dock, captured a lot of the slick….
