From the
EDITOR
This is a busy month and I have zero time to wax lyrical. We are going to get it on
right now! Let’s start with Dorian:
Hurricane Dorian was a real jerk! Thank God it did little to zero damage on
Tybee, but our hearts go out to the Bahamas and all of our many friends down there.
Barabbas & the Junkanoo tribe are family! They need our help and right now, we
have The Crab Shack and Nickie’s 1971 hard at work on relief efforts. As I write this,
the biggest problem we are facing is getting the supplies to them. If you know anyone,
can do anything, supply anything, know somebody who knows somebody who can do
something, contact either establishment. Further details are inside.
A huge shout out as always to Huc A Poos and Nickie’s, the Mayor, the City
of Tybee workers, DPW, Georgia Power and everyone that stayed and kept the
evacuees updated on every trickle of water and gust of wind. If you haven’t added the
kids that work at DPW to your Christmas list, do it now and buy them huge, expensive
presents! They like chocolate and alcohol (I’m guessing here, but how could I be
wrong?).
Barring any further hurrications, Pirate’s Fest is here and I’m all about it! Between
the King and the Queen, Great White being front and center as the headline band,
Buccaneer’s Ball and a Parade, it’s going to be the best party of the year! All of the
details are inside!
Halloween is also this month and Lewis is going to be Lewis! Don’t forget to donate
a big bag of candy at the Fire Department to help offset the cost to the residents. I like
Snickers … and Mars bars … and Heath bars … stop.
No matter what is going on, I will never let the Traveling Beachcomber slide by.
This month’s long- awaited winners are: Beth Tanner, Karen Rhodes, Karen Penick
and Sally Cameron all cruising to Bermuda together and dragging us along with
them! Love you ladies and thank you for representing!!! We are all going to A-J’s!
Probably should call them for a heads up that y’all are coming! LOL!
One sad note before you turn the page, I would be remiss if I did not mention that
Jimmy Prosser aka Jimmy Williams aka Jummy has moved off the island and out of
state. After my initial devastation at this blatant abandonment of me personally, and
the magazine professionally, I am now just mad. Not only will he continue to write
from afar, he will write all the difficult boring stories that I won’t publish! Just kidding.
I love that kid and let’s wish him the best on his new adventures!
Now, get in there and make me a margarita! No salt. Then, turn the page ….
