We So 3008. You So 2000 and Late

It was Saturday morning, guess what we did. We got out of the house earlier than we normally do, and even after stops at the Bucks and Panera we were still in our spot before 9am. This morning was a little bit different. There were a couple of commercial fishing boats out with clouds of seagulls circling them. I’d never seen – or at least noticed anyway – this many birds in one place at one time. If you were ever frightened by The Birds, then one of these fishing trawlers would have been your personal hell. I guess these guys have a process they’re used to because with all the birds flying around and all the dolphins swimming around I don’t know how the fishermen get to keep anything. It was something new and cool for me at the beach. This morning was also a little bit different because we were approached twice about our cool gear. We hadn’t been on the beach for more than ten minutes when a nice young mom with her baby and her hubby asked MJ about our sweet tent. Actually it’s MJ’s sweet tent. She found it. She bought it. And she wrestles it opened and closed. The young mom had been looking for a tent that would stay standing on the beach. As she was grilling MJ, which is exactly what she was doing, the tent she had set up collapsed. It was like a commercial for ours. We were approached again as we were leaving the beach by an older mom who was interested in MJ’s sweet beach chairs. MJ bought these chairs about ten years ago, and they’re super cool for a couple of reasons. First, they’re the most functional and comfortable beach chairs/wagons that have ever been made. Second, they don’t make them anymore, so not only do we have cooler chairs than you do, you can’t get them. That may seem kind of small and superficial but that’s probably because you’re jealous of our chairs. We don’t hold it against you. The beach routine is the best idea we’ve ever had. We’ve been going regularly for a couple of months now and it hasn’t been boring for an instant. If there’s a lull in the action at home tomorrow morning we’ll probably head out again.
