After Irene at the Lake Worth Beach

Remind me to clean my lens.

Last night, we had NO beach. The tide was up to the Seagrape and our seawall. I went over to the beach this morning to see what was up. The first thing I noticed was that the sprinklers were on. Wrong day. Wrong time. Who is in charge? They are charging us small fortunes, even for water. No wonder. No one is checking on the waste.

The tide has receded back to normal. The turtle stakes have all been washed out to sea. The lifeguard assured me that many of the turtles will survive in spite of being covered over by the surf last night. The surfers were there all strategizing on what area of the surf would give them the best wave. The beach was active, full of cars, and the normal groups trying to figure out the pay-station meters. Thank God for a beach decal, the one thing NOT taken away from us, not yet. And to mention it for the 180th million time, NO one wants to park down below the dune. NO ONE.
