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

[Matthew Marino]

   Snorkel! Not Scuba! To complicated, to risky ( can I assume the ear=20=

drums happened diving?). I only explore the deep blue sea with a hook=20
and bait. The reason I use an axe instead of a chain saw is that I know=20=

the axe will work when I get to the tree. Conservative to a fault,=20
that's me.

   I honestly don't mind the 16-21 crowd having a rowdy time, getting=20
silly and exploring hormonal effects. Heck, that's what you do when=20
your a dumb kid. It's part of growing up. What bugs me is the 30-40=20
year olds with 2-5 kids who are desperately trying to relive some=20
by-gone days. They drive down, get drunk act stupid and let their kids=20=

wander in between a storm sea and a highway unsupervised for many=20
hours. Had a 4 year old hang with me and my son most of a day and=20
no-one came looking for him. Let me tell you, where there are a lot of=20=

drunk, pretty teenage girls there are a lot of really scary old pervs=20
looking to take advantage of the situation. The media included. My=20
inlaws live next to a Sgt. in the PCB Police. Can't speak for the Chief=20=

but Drew is trying to keep these kids alive. He's seen more than his=20
share of dead bodies through falls off balconies( while drunk),=20
drowning(while drunk), vicious car accidents(because of drunk drivers)=20=

and murdered young women.

   Enough about PCB. That town is what it's people need it to be for=20
whatever reason. Love to visit, wouldn't want to live or work there.=20
Beaches are nice and you never get enough snow to have to shovel it.=20
Best Mini-golf  I've ever seen. Every place has it's good and bad=20
sides, even the sleepy little burg of Warren is full of dark and secret=20=

dangers mixed with the majestic oaks and serene fields with grazing=20
cattle.
