Florida is a living hell

[Duke]

Treking deep through the hell that is Sarasota, FL, our intrepid explorers came across a native totem with a forboding warning.

Not to be deterred, our adventurers forge onward, under the shadow of great native temples.

The deep jungle crushed in from all sides, hiding what lay ahead.

Suddenly, a clearing appears. Is our destination finally found?

Indeed, the mythical white powdered sand beaches exist. Although many cokefiends mistake such a field for other substances, and die a horrible death, worshippers of the sun and surf find mystery and substance on levels mortals rarely tread.

As the sun sets, one realizes how much living in Florida must be a challenge to it's stalwart patrons, and that live is a harsh, cruel mistress that offers no rewards.

it's wonderful...for a one-week vacation. give me a lake house in the georgia mountains any day.

you don't know what hell is...

 

[JAXvillain]

the color of that beach doesn't look like the powdery kind of sand that you can get a shoe-full of and it not bother you
looks darker and more granular

 

[tre]

Cuba has the best sand I've ever seen

I wonder if dana ever moved down to that trailer park in zephyr hills?

He's still waiting on girl Dana to call him.

Thats the camera, unfortunately. Plus, those pics were taken from about 50 yards back from the shoreline, so the sand is a bit more diluted back there.

They just rebuilt Lido beach, and added about 30 more yards of beach from what it had. It's a pretty impressive thing when you see what it was and what it is now.

Coolest part was when we got there. 15-20 yards from shore, a big 8 foot dolphin was cruising along the shoreline. It was very cool.

probably no sharks around if a dolphin is about too

Yeah, that made me feel safe. Especially because I was an idiot and wore red trunks that day.

Talk about putting on a 'buffet open' sign.

I lived in Minnesota for 18 years. I have an idea.

 

[Dharma1521]

I'm thinking of moving to Seattle, the coffee is plentiful, the book stores grand, and the people pale.

I prefer quieter, less crowded beaches like this:

The reason we are all looking at the ground so much is because we were astounded to find that all those shells we saw actually belonged to real living creatures and were not just dead things washed up on the shore and discarded. Amazing place, no people, just nature.

Those are awesome if you are staying on shore. But swimming in isolated waters with no one around you is a good way to get eaten.

Eaten? By what? And if I'm swimming with other people around, doesn't that just reduce my chances of being the one to be eaten?

We didn't swim that day anyway, too many jellyfish.

A guys were camping when a bear suddenly walked into their campsite and growled threateningly. It turned on them both and charged.

The first guy went to run, while the second guy went to put on his sneakers.

the first guy says 'Man, those sneakers won't help you outrun the bear'

the second guy says 'I don't need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you'.


the moral of the story, if someone is going to get eaten, it's usually in your best interests if it's someone else and not you.
