People are strange.

 People are strange.

It just so happened that I was viewing the earth cam and looking at Kiawah and once again it made me wonder what is wrong with people. Granted it is spring, and it is not 100 degrees and sunny but what the heck, it is 75 and cloudy and it appears there is a small gust of wind. So why is the beach empty? After hours of mediation on the subject, there are only two plausible reasons: First, the personal magnetism, charm, intellect and sear “rock star” status of 6 not being there, drawing hundreds from the far reaches of the globe and second people are strange. We all know the real reason is the first, but as to not let the power of 6’s persona influence a debate as to why no one is on the beach, 6 will attempt to explain, why people are strange.

As we all know this has been a frightful winter. Eddie sent me a text the other day and told me that for the first time he has been able to “clean the shitter”, since Thanksgiving it has been so cold that the chemicals in the chemical shitter were the consistency of Jello. The more 6 thinks about this and wonders if he may have one of the jelly fish from last year cloggin up his shitter, 71 look out Eddie has put it back into the Chicago sewer system buy summer that thing should be back to Kiawah waitin on ya?  Picture that, now that is cold! So one would logically think if it has been that cold, then 75 degrees would feel like the middle of the summer! No, not to the people who vacation in the spring in Kiawah! I then decide to look and make a estimate of the prices of the rentals in the spring. The Kiawah Island chamber of commerce and tourist bureau, say prices are anywhere from 15 to 20 percent lower in the spring vs. the summer. The quote 6 received was for a $10,000 per week rental it would go in the spring for $8,000 to $8,500. Once again, people are strange; they have more money than brains! 6 knows the place is empty, wrong again, this week they have 68% occupancy, where in the summer they hit the low 90%. Could it be that scooter has not started back to work? 6 can just see it now, these people who pay $10K for a rental don’t want to get sand on their bottoms, and god forbid they buy a $10 chair from target, that is just beneath them. After all 61,62,63 and 71 stay with us in the low rent district, and spend the day covering themselves with beach sand, while sitting on re-pained $10 target chairs! How about the water is too cold, come-on the water comes from the south, granted it is probably not like the bath tub when we are there, but it is 68 degrees, that is warmer than the Pacific Ocean in the dead of summer! Where are the people? I know they are all sitting back over there on Melody lane with all the other rich people watching re-runs of Friends, trying to answer that age old question… “What do they do for a living?” Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted large Jelly Fish on its way in from Chicago. Great Balls of Fire!!

Words of wisdom: Cherish each day, for they are all a gift.
