From the
EDITOR
Alright y’all! It’s America’s 242nd Birthday and we are going to have the best
month EVER!!! Now, let me tell you how it’s gonna go down… But first I
am going to rant for a paragraph and I know Taxi Tales has covered this, but
it needs repeating. The traffic on Tybee has gotten beyond out of control.
The crosswalks are kind of like a question of, “Do I want to die today?” as a
pedestrian and, “Am I gonna run someone over?” as a driver. People, this is not
difficult! I’m not your mom! You know what to do. Not to mention the amount of
paperwork and jail time and/or hospital time involved. Weekend ruiner fo sho!!
So, pedestrians - book your ass across the street with everything you have as
fast as possible. Drivers - the ped cross lights are truly blinking for a reason.
Just stop. Breathe. Change your spirit animal to a turtle. Slow still gets you there
(insert note to self here, as I almost ran over someone today and then cussed
them out). Anyhoo...
I am beside myself to announce that Virginia Ward, of The Crab Shack, has
written a terrific story on her journey to Cuba! And what a story! Starting back
in the 60’s, this lady has earned her right for a feature story and coverage of
her journey. I’ve always loved the thought of Cuba because it has been so Taboo
for Americans for so long, that it makes you want to go simply because you are
not allowed to. Well, finally!! Virginia got her wish! She also wins the Traveling
Beachcomber award because she and her daughter, Jacqueline, rocked that
monthly Benchwarmer like no one else and they deserve to go to A-J’s and dine
like Queens (is that a conflict of interest between A-J’s and Crab Shack?? - Nah.
We are all friends!!).
So, read on my faithful people! Keep on doing entertaining things for us to write
about and behaving badly! Also, mind all rules of the road please. Now … make
me a cocktail and turn the page ... and Happy Birthday America!!!
