Enjoying it While We Can




We enjoyed the beach today, as you can see. Funny, because the beach isn't exactly my favorite place in the world. Which is probably a little ironic because we live close to the ocean -- hop in the car and we're there in a matter of minutes. Weird.

Lately, though, I've been thinking that even if it's not my favorite place to be, it's the favorite place of many other people and they shouldn't be deprived of it. They shouldn't have to walk on their beach and sidestep tar balls and see oil-covered animals. They shouldn't lose their livelihood.

Even though I live on the opposite coast from where the oil from that corporate greed-powered disaster started, who knows what will happen? I'm no ocean expert and I have no idea how the currents run.

For now, we're enjoying our beach. I may just drive here with the kids more often this summer. While it's clean and the animals are healthy.
