Frostbite could easily happen when you are at the water line on the beach and you get your hands wet picking up damp shells with a blowing northern wind in your face. But the shells....oh la la! Huge cockle shells and angel wings reward the brave and foolish at 7 am on the first day of spring. Later, we went into Randalls and their Starbucks for a latte and Green Tea Frappacino along with the Galveston Sunday paper (since they won't deliver, donchaknow). Spent the rest of the day watching trucks and cars get stuck in the sand in front of our house. We are thinking about putting a shovel out and a bucket with the honor system because the number of people getting stuck is increasing. Question: How many trucks and people does it take to get one utility truck that is stuck out of the sand? Answer: 4 trucks and one with a hole digger as well as the supervisor and 4 workers. See the images just taken of the Center Point Energy fiasco. They must have been reading my mind for I thought they should take up the poles and drag the truck directly on the harder surface of the beach. They were stuck twice before they figured that out. We were nice to them, but they refused Doug's shovel.
