The nerve of some people

It sure looks like Kiawah may miss the wrath of Florence that is ok, for the last couple have done nothing but raised the price of our rentals. 

As we all know, when 6 goes to the beach 6 really likes his personal space, 6 wonders is that is kind of like our family and hugging? . If 6 wanted to have people to the right side and the left side in front and behind him 6 would just go to Ocean City! There is a tremendous amount of preparation involved in minimizing the impact that “squatters” inflict on our good old family vacation. If you all don’t know here is the yearly process that 6 employees to protect your vacation. In early July, he pulls the tidal data from NOAA, and charts the effects that the tides will have on each day of our vacation. Once that is completed, early in August,   6 will then start watching channel 2 news, confirming 6’s analysis with the premier meteorologist Josh Mauthers. Once the trend is verified 6 will then start collecting actual tidal data each morning and then in the evening by utilizing the Kiawah beach Cam, this will ensure down to the minute when the tide changes. This is then even further confirmed by personal observation by getting up on every morning, prior to sun even peaking its head over the horizon and walking the beach taking measurements. At this point 6 knows exactly what time and where each of the chairs need to be set up in order to keep the “squatters” in their own space.  The bad part is 6 really thinks that all of these  efforts may be  in vain because over the years the family beach goers have just come to expect the serenity afforded them by all the work that 6 performs, in reserving their personal beach space. What do all-you-all think that 6 likes to watch Josh every day? 6 can tell you the weather forecast 365 days in advance for Kiawah Island. Next August it is be 96 degrees, 76% humidity, with a feels like temperature of 100 to 105, with a 40% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon, and a low of 76 that night. Or do you think 6 likes to get up at O dark 30 to walk, the beach….. Doesn’t one need their sleep! Well enough of that!! The point of this is “The best laid plans”, this spring after doing all of 6 mandatory preparations, 6 grabbed the beach chairs from under the villa and made his way to the beach at the perfect time prescribed by the detailed analysis. To 6’s amazement there was not only a “squatter” in front of us, but this person actually had the nerve to pull the beach chair from under the umbrella and put her own personal chair under our umbrella!  Not knowing any better 6 took her stuff (BTW she actually took a towel from the villa she was staying in) and proceeded to move them off to the side of the umbrella. It was at this point when 4 told me that the things I just moved were not ours, but some lady that came down and just looked at 4 and began making herself at home in our space! The nerve of some people! Anyway to make a long story short the lady came back about 3:00 that afternoon and just sat down in her chair, and never said a word to any of us, after an hour or so, we just had to tell her to get the heck out of there because it was Rex Time! She gave us a nasty look and moved on, never to be seen again.

What is the message behind this blog? Should 6 give up all of the preparations, which result in a perfect beach experience? Should 6 have left the “squatters” chair and towel in place under our umbrella, possibly enhancing her vacation by being in the presence of 4,6,7,and 8? Or should have 6 just dumped her crap in the Ocean, and sent her packing?
