Life at the beach...

Well, we've moved. And we're practically unpacked. Except for the kitchen. So we've been eating out for most of the past week. I think we've eaten out for dinner more in the past week than we have for the entire previous year. It just seems that home cooked meals taste better than restaurant food.

Anyway, we went for happy hour at Ocean Club in Jacksonville Beach on Friday after cleaning up and packing up the last bits of detritus in the old apartment. The drinks were two for one during happy hour. They were okay. But the people watching was amazing!!! It appears that Jacksonville Beach is becoming a slight spring destination. Nothing on the order of Daytona, Miami, Destin, or the redneck riviera they keep mentioning on the news. But there were plenty of young folks strutting their stuff to keep me entertained for hours. I find it interesting how men's clothes are getting bigger and baggier while women's clothes are getting smaller and smaller. Some of the guys were wearing many layers of clothes while the girls were wearing the skimpiest and tightest bikinis they could apparently find in the children's department. One guy's pants even fell down while he was walking because he stopped holding his pants up momentarily to hold his girlfriend's hand. Fortunately he was wearing glow in the dark blue boxer briefs with basketball shorts over those, so he was still fully clothed (sort of) with his pants around his ankles.

Overall, though, my one observation: Plumber's butt is not attractive on anyone. Period.
