No PVV this year

We are now well over a year until we reach pre-vacation vacation. Let’s us all hope that next year’s pre-vacation vacation, is actually a reality.  BTW if 6 hears the term “new normal” one more time Rex time is going to start at noon. Who coined that phrase, if you ask 6 (which you obviously have), the idiot who coined that phrase, has come from modern time. They hold little grasp of history, holding a world view centered on personal needs and wants.  6 says follow the words of a famous poet, “darkness only stays at night time, in the morning it all fades away, Daylight is good at arriving at the right time, it is not always going to be this gray”.

Here is a good one, today is the 50^th anniversary of the Beatles release of “Let it Be”. 6 could be like all those other fools in the world who they say “I remember where they were when” but 6 would be telling a little white lie. Wait a second on deeper reflection, 6 does remember! 6 was at the church, hanging with the church gang! Sitting on a purple Kawasaki 900, pass the time discussing last night’s episode on Green acres. Oh those were the days my friends! 

As this is PVV eve one cannot help wonder what will be missed by not, sitting on the beach with all of those wonderful friends. One could not help remembering last year, on Saturday afternoon PVV started out with a trip to HT (Harris Teeter).  Did 6 ever explain what it is like going to HT on Memorial Day weekend in paradise? It is quite the experience! On a normal vacation weekend, HT is packed, with the average age of the patrons being approximately 40. On Memorial Day weekend one could conservatively add 30 years making it 70 years old.  Back to the experience:  Nice cars, and between each car is a shopping cart, the prospect of returning your cart to the spot the store provides when you are done is not even a consideration. After about 20 minutes one of those old people finally decides to leave and you can get a parking space. As 6 is a very nice and considerate person, he takes one of the shopping carts left in the middle of a parking space and makes his way to the store…oh not so fast you can’t get in to the store with the cart because the front of the store is filled with cars of those old people who think they own the place. They can’t be bothered to park in the lot, they just park in front of the door! By this time 6 is about ready to explode, and he has not even made it into the store!  It’s time to take a big breath, and proceed. Once in the store it is no better, as far as the eye can see it is nothing but people! You gotta eat! The most efficient way to shop is to divide and conquer, 6 draws the short straw and has to get lunch meat!  Line is short but the old man in front of 6, had to try for or 5 different kinds of meat and cheese, actually 6 thinks he was eating his lunch right there in the store. He proceeded to get 5 different types of lunch meat, ¼ pound at a time, then he had to get 5 different types of cheese once again in ¼ increments! Come old buy, if 6 ever even thinks of doing something so self-serving, please lock him up! The moral of the story is: if one goes grocery shopping on Kiawah Island on a Saturday afternoon, one must have the patience of a saint!

Words of wisdom: No matter what life throws at you, all will be well in the end!
