As 6 was doing 6’s normal deep deliberations, while sitting comfortably, on the beach in the shade of the Shibumi tent and comfort of his Tommy Bahama’s lounge chair, the question of life was waying deeply on 6’s massive intellect. Is anyone familiar with the theory of Six Degrees of separation? Simply, it states that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other! For example, 6 bets that all-you-all did not know that six is actually less than 6 degrees away from the Beatles! Yes, 6 realizes that some of 6’s devotees, think 6 takes some liberties with facets of the truth (don’t even think about it 7) follow this: 6 worked with a woman, whose daughter went to school with Nora Jones, Nora Jones is Ravi Shankar’s Daughter, and Ravi Shankar taught George Harrison the sitar. As one can see that is only 4 degrees of separation. The fascinating thing is this theory can apply to life in general. Here is another example instead of people think of chairs; let us focus on the chair (s) that 6 so comfortably sat in on PVV this year.
The chair saga, started Sunday morning upon the return trip from Rose Bank Farms. BTW just like most things in life, Rose Bank Farms has had a makeover, (the owners must plan on having an appearance on Southern Charm) more on that in a different blog. It was revealed by 7 that there were no beach chairs to be found, could one think of anything worse than that! Let 6 tell you, 7 has never found a deterrent that doesn’t have a plausible solution. As one would expect the next thing 6 knew, out of the blue, 7 appeared with three “NICE” beach chairs! Sunday and Monday were perfect days on the beach, sitting conformably under the tent in the lavish beach chair, meditating on life! On the third day, at Rex time, 7 unceremoniously, dragged his beach chair up the beach to sit down and enjoy Rex time on the beach. Carefully placing the chair in the customary late afternoon sand storm, all while struggling to navigate the blowing sand and sitting down. Low and behold, as he placed his bottom in the chair,7 just kept going right thru the seat of the chair as if it was not even there. Now as one may expect, 4 and 6 had their theories as to why 7 broke the chair. They ranged from, the sand blew into his eyes, casually drinking a bottle of Rex at lunch time, the 28 oz steak he had for breakfast. After bottle 2, as one may conclude the truth always rises to the surface! It was “Instant Karma”! As It also happened just at that moment, the sky darkened and the lightning bolts were seen breaking across the vast ocean. One has to ask, would intelligent people sitting on a wide-open beach on aluminum chairs under a aluminum arch, with lightning bolts all around them have the astuteness to leave? Really, that would cause us to cut Rex time short, after all 7 felt well-grounded with is butt on the beach. After some time (a bottle and half of Rex) the sky cleared, and all we had to deal with was the sand storm, a broken chair and yes how could we forget the staple beach delicacy “MSC&C” melted sand cheese and Crackers. As it was approaching 7 PM, we all figured it was about time to call it a day on the beach and head back to the villa and open a new bottle of Rex. As some to the astute reads my have figured out, we still had the same issue of the broken chair! Wellll 8, you don’t have to worry yourself. On the way back to the villa, as you all know we have to pass several dumpsters. The first stop 7 dumped the old chair in the dumpster, and low and behold, there was a nice red (or at least at one time) folding chair to replace the broken green chair. Like pennies from heaven, our PVV was back on schedule. When 6 arrived back at the villa, the first thing 6 did was take his bucket hat off, and oppppps, 6 had forgotten to take his beloved 15-year-old sunglass off of his hat, and would you not know it, they fell on the floor and the right Lense cracked in half. How disappointing! It was “Instant Karma” The next day was totally uneventful, until 7 was walking back to the beach after eating his lunch. He made the terrifying proclamation; 7 noticed a car parked under a villa. It all came in to focus now, we had to return the chairs that were found on the first day, this was really not such a bad thing because we only had two Rex times left, and believe it or not, there were two old raggy soccer chairs under our villa. Immediately, 6 and 7 jumped to our feet and ran the two remaining chairs back to the villa with the car parked under it, in a hope that we would not affect the new people’s vacation in paradise. We carefully placed the two remaining chairs under the villa, picked up the two soccer chairs, and headed back to the beach! As luck would have it, 7 decided to do some more dumpster diving, and would you believe, found 3 chairs perched atop an empty case of Corona cans in the dumpster! The last two days of Rex on the beach was saved! As a side note 7 was supposed to carefully position those 3 new chairs under our villa, so we can have Rex time on FFV. In other words, hide them so no-one else can use them!
Back to 6 degrees of separation, as one can see this happens with people as well as chairs!
Steal a chair, break a chair, find a chair, return a chair, find a chair! 4 degrees on the Beatles, 5 degrees on chairs! Go figure! Never forget “Instant Karma” for we all shine on!
6 just notice the time and it time for Banna!
