The other day, while 6 was “out and about” at the local pool, it became painfully obvious that the same classic techniques would need to be deployed to find a place to sit these old bones. Yes, 6 knows that this is a recognizable antidote, butttttt, the pool offers a few new challenges. First the differences; no sand, no Shibumi’s (but then again that might be an idea, given Shibumi new product line), no tide changes, no waves. Now the similarities; “more people than one can shake a stick at”, burning your feet on the concrete deck, just like on the sand, people using the age-old trick of putting a towel on a couple of chairs under the umbrella, and leaving (just like a dog marking their space), and finally the best of all leaving their trash. 6 spotted two empty chairs for the 4 of us to share. After a couple of hours, 6 was able to abscond, a couple chairs and an umbrella. As one may expect, just like on the beach, people are people, and just like society only think of themselves, people expect others to clean any mess they may have created. On this day, the people before us had watermelon, and do you think they bothered to clean anything? After all there are no sea guls at the pool. In retrospect, 6 should have known since one of them had a “gorget” and Palmetto Tree tattoo on their ankle. As everyone knows 6 being unselfish, big-hearted, magnanimous, noble (need 6 go on) person, noticed a young mother, with a little kid and a baby sitting out in the scorching sun, no protection from the 105-degree day, as 6 being the ultimate gentleman inquired, if she would consider sitting under our chairs and umbrella. Succes!! 6A, 621 and 622, were not pleased because it was time for them to go home! What does this have to do with Kiawah one may ask? Welllll 8 let me tell you, they lady had a hammer shirt, that had an Orange Oak tree logo. Hummmm The very next day, 6 went to Planet Fitness, and guess who parked next to 6? A Luxury SUV, and guess what, they had a KI sticker on the back bumper! Let’s keep going, Sunday morning as 6 was going to Giant, to do the weekly grocery drill, out of the corner of 6’s eye, “low and behold” there was another Luxury car with a Kiawah sticker! The moral of this tirade is very simple. There are many states, at least on 6’s TV, (MD, VA, PA, NY, IL, CA, SD) who spend millions of taxpayer dollars on tourism, when all they really need to do is get 6 to come to their states, and soon their tourism trade will skyrocket! The way 6 figures it, SC owes some big dollar bucks for all of the tourism they receive free of charge, because 6 graciously goes to their state on PVV and FFV! Talk about old money for rope, or is it soft soap? In either case, regrettably, Kiawah marketing plan is working well. California instead of having a beach ball bounce from tourist tap to tourist trap, they could just show yours truly all decked out in his beach gear, touring around the state! It will save them millions! At the same time keep the riffraff from Kiawah! A win for all, but 6, to date 6 has not seen one single dollar buck from anyone using 6’s image…If it works for the NCAA, why not for 6!
