Beach or Mountains

Wish I had a choice. No mountains in the Memphis area, and the best thing to do for a beach is to rent a room where they have a pool. Oh well, no sharks or avalanches.

Actually, that’s not entirely true. There are a few muddy lakes within driving distance. When the kids were young, we visited them a few times. It is the one thing I miss about California. We spent hours at the beach at a time. Nowadays, the beaches are so crowded that one can’t enjoy them much. Going up to Big Bear was fun, but fighting the traffic on the way back removes all the enjoyment.

Do I prefer beach or mountains?

This is a really tough one. I guess I have to say beach. However, where I live, there isn’t much of either. There are lakes and rivers nearby, but none are fit for swimming. As Mark Twain said, the Mississippi is too thick to drink and thin to plow. There are a few lakes around, but they are nothing like the beaches of s. California.

There used to be some good public pools, but thanks to the lawyers, they went out of business. Law suits made insurance prohibitive.

When we were younger, we rented a hotel room closeby and used their pool. Regardless, the price of hotels with pools have gotten expensive.

It is the worst part about leaving California. Weather, beaches, mountains and amusement parks and folks are still leaving the place. Shows what the dems can do with paradise in a couple of decades.

Right now, I’d say any place where the dems don’t run things is good for me. If you’d kick in some sandy beaches, all the better. I would say Florida, but according to the experts, it will all be 4 feet under water in a decade.

Guess I’ll just stay here.
