Uncle Gator's Kiawah Adventures

The other day while 6 was sitting on his front porch, in his trusty rocking chair, jug of moonshine at 6’s side, dreaming 6’s life away, a profound thought entered 6’d mind! It’s almost time for PVV and FFV. The flowers are in full bloom, the trees have their leaves, the grass is growing, the pollen is covering everything as if we a light coating of snow! To say it simply, spring has sprung!  Ok let’s come back to reality, a reminder alarm from 6’s trusty cell phone alerted 6 that it was time to look for a place to stay on the beach! So why don’t we focus on summer at the beach!  The other day 622 and 6 were sitting down eating our lunch will watching a classic episode of  Bluey  guess where they were going, yes to the beach for their holiday for those who are interested it was Bluey Season 1 Episode 26 “Bluey’s sunny adventure”. Instead of all the non-Heeler fans asking what the heck does this have to with anything! Welllll…4….., 6 was remined that the bea...

Back to the old sayings, “If someone jumped off of a bridge, would you?” To be very honest, depending on how obstinate, 6 was being would determine the answer to that question. But then again, since 6 was such a perfect child, no one ever had to use that saying on him, but if they did, what would have 6 done?  Peer pressure was the genesis of that old saying.  Basically, it is challenging blind conformity, should one follow the crowd with-out critically thinking the action. The sad reality, is the concept of critical thinking, is as common as a Waterspout on the beach at Kiawah! Yes, it does happen, when 6 is out fishing with 5, 52, and 8, how often does that happen?  What is the reason for the lack of critical thinking? In a way it is very simple, we no longer need to be taught that skill, because all we need to do is ask the screen! The screen will magically give you any answer to any action you may have to take, how simple, you don’t have to bother to use any...

6 knows that he thinks that he is different from all the rest, so don’t break his bubble. Take a simple trip to the grocery store or a trip to FFV or PVV, a keen observer, will see the same things on any excursion, so in reality it really doesn’t matter.  Once upon a time, in an airport far far away, a young man sits patiently waiting for his flight to paradise. As he sat there on his tuffet, eating his egg McMuffin and drinking his coffee, he noticed all around him people everywhere heads down focusing on a small screen that they held in their hands. For what could this be, when the nice lady called for the boarding of the flight, they all stood up and formed a line, while keeping that intense focus on those screens. Finally, every passenger was comfortably seated, but still the same, heads were all down looking at those screens. The Flight attendant told us that it was time to take off so please put down your electronic devices, you will never guess what happened, no one heard, s...
