[Regia-NA] PC Beach-RE: Was sprang BILOXI

[Sudden Service #5]

    If you can take a diving class & ask around you can find some good
places to dive wrecks around PC, according to my daughter.  I can't dive any
more, due to ruptured ear drums.  I did learn in CT, diving in lakes back
when I was stationed at Groton.  Now there was a "rich" environment, along
with ski boats to make surfacing an interesting proposition.  Now if you
want to go diving some place interesting go visit Sandy at home in Oz.  I
hear they have some interesting fish & coral down there.
    The Beach is it's own world, it is where all the repressed Southern
youth go to rebel against the social confinement that they suffer under in
their home towns/counties.  It is big enough that they are not likely for
the local Preacher to see them making fools of themselves or drunk in the
middle of the street.  The average age on the Miracle Mile is likely to be
19 years old & that includes the old folks like my daughter who is 28.
Supposedly the drinking has been decreased since they raised the age to 21.
The cops there are still the typical Southern Cops, the Police Chief was
just in the news for telling the "Girls Gone Wild" production crew that
anyone encouraging anyone to take their cloths off would be arrested.  He is
also well known to bust those kids who are caught drinking under age.

Yup, that's the place. I have mixed emotions on the Florida beaches.
Sugar sand is comfy to walk on and doesn't get hot, but sticks like
glue and is BORING to snorkel around. Other problem is that when the
water gets warm it gets "RICH". Not that the sea water here in
Massachusetts isn't a varitable soup, but when it's 84º it seems slimy
in a way 65º never does, much like Stout. It's still a cheap vacation.
Believe it or not they are building even more hotels on the beach

   There are some unspoiled places I will admit. Mexico Beach and the
shore behind Tyndall AFB are wild. Mom-in-law almost grabbed a small
gator by the tail because she doesn't wear her glasses at the beach and
thought it was drift wood. The jump and hiss clued her in. Apalachicola
is beautiful, more like a small southern town on the gulf.  Don't mean
to pick on it so. The locals are mostly hard working, good people and
the most obnoxious tourist I've run into were all from "up North".
Folks do suffer from what we call the Port Authority Syndrome. Take the
Ferry to Nantucket in November and the sailors are as friendly and
helpful as can be. In August, they harbor a deep and merciless hatred
for humanity. The only time we really can't handle in PCB is spring
break. How such a holy rolling part of the bible belt ended up as the
center of leacherous college headonism is beyond me. Church, bar,
church, Club LaVela, church, porn shop, church, bar, etc. on down the
strip.
