| We were joined on the beach by Chewbacca and this... Octopoop. The pink golf ball is sitting on a checkers piece. Who plays checkers at the beach? And what toy manufacturer puts tentacles on Poop?? |
As predicted, there were big waves this morning. The number of swimmers on the beach was inversely proportional to the size of the waves. (Impressed by those fancy math terms?)
On the bright side, the water and the air were warm.
We blew up our barbies and headed into the surf. "Sewer pipe," I told myself, and was pleased to make it to the garage. Everyone else went a bit further.
It was one of those days where the sun shone thru the murky water, and then the next wave would cast a shadow, warning you of its impending arrival. As you swam, the shore would seem as if it were downhill from you, and alternately appear and disappear depending on whether you were on the crest or the trough of the wave.
Speaking of which, we were wondering on how wave height is calculated. Our guess was wrong. Turns out it's trough to crest:
Back on shore, Magic Mike and I agreed that we shared low-level anxiety during the swim related to the new assortment of logs and fence posts on the beach. As in... if all that stuff had washed up on the beach, how much of it was still floating around in the waves? But, as usual, all's well that end's well at Klode.
You've read this far. Excellent. I believe Cap'n was obliquely stating this, but I'll state it directly: If you are a regular (or even occasional) consumer of shots of Killepitsch, that stuff does NOT, in fact, grow on trees, and is $25-30/bottle. The lovely people who generously and faithfully supply it, will tell you that they don't want any money. IGNORE that, and slip some cash ($20? $40?) in their swim bags.
