As my readers might already realize 6 has some strange fascination, with older people on the beach. PVV did not disappoint! 6 can honestly say that age is relative, as one gets older the definition of “Geezers” changes with each passing day. Here I am going to step back to reality and assume that actually 6 fits in that category now. You might ask why, and the reality of age hit 6 like a ton of bricks one day as 4,6,7 and 8, were having a deep conversation on the beach. As a side note 1 you might like this part because it has to do with the history of the 0 family.
The conversation started, when the four of us were observing the behavior of the thousands of mature adults, isn’t that is a PC (Politically Correct) way refer to geezers, such a hard word. What we noticed is that they were rude, pushy, arrogant, in other words they walked around like they owned the place, actually they probably do. As a strange twist of fate, we started to ask questions about 0 mother, father and sister. Every year the three of them would make their annual trip the Atlantic city. This lead 6 to ask the logical question: Why would such old people every year pack for a month, information from 4, ride on a greyhound bus (0 and 6 used to drop them off) for at least 15 hour bus ride, all to go to the beach? Think about that, that is 5 generations of the 0 family, well the 5th generation we will have to wait and see. 6 wonders if the beach is engrained in our family DNA! 6 will never forget the first trip to the beach. Instead of going on a Greyhound 6 boarded first class and airplane and headed for BWI! The next day 1 and family, got into the VW microbus and were headed for the beach! 6 will never forget his first view of the beach, what a great memory! 6 doesn’t remember exactly what age he was but a very good estimate he was 10 years old. Imagine today sending your 10-year-old on an airplane, times have changed! Back to the 0-family vacation. All of this talk about age, the next issue was to determine how old that they actually were when they were going on these beach vacations. 6 can remember going to Greyhound station in downtown with 0 and dropping them off to catch their luxury ride to the beach. Let’s see, 6 had to be younger than 16, or 6 would have no needed 0 to drive. BTW, why would 5,4,3,2 or1 not have taken them to the Greyhound station? 6 is sure at least one of them would have had a driver’s license, are all you all feeling guilty now! Just think 0 had to work all day, then take time to go pick them up, drop them off and make it back home, one other thing 6 does remember is that they got on the bus, when it was dark outside, since it was summer, that had to be after 9:00 at night! 6 bets that 0 had a difficult day the next day, due to lake of sleep, if before you did not feel guilty you better now! Let’s see using superior intelligence, that means when our grandparents where spending our inheritance at the beach, they were at least my current age, and 0’s sister, actually had to be younger than 8, if that is possible! Fast forward 20 years from now, when one of the 5th generation takes over authoring the blog, what they will be saying about the third generation going to the beach each year! 6 can see it now! “How embarrassing, 621 had to walk 6 back from the beach this evening, after 6 drank a glass of Rex on the beach, and forgot where the heck he was! That part is understandable, because 6 is actually older that Methuselah, the part that pushed me over the edge, was why 6 insists to wear that ‘hammer” shirt (whatever that is) that he purchased from some place call Belk at the turn of the century! Actually 621 had some good luck on her side, since it was around dinner time, all the people that 621,622 and 611 where hanging around with all day on the beach, were back in their houses, and did not associate that embarrassing old “Geezer” with us, after all we had to spend the whole day staying as far away from him as possible! This is going to be a long week!” Age really is relative! Guess what “Speedo man” was spotted several times on PVV this year… Now that guy really loves the beach!
Words of Wisdom: Never forget, if nothing else, it will hold families together, and provide entertainment for generations to come.
