I DID IT AGAIN (I LOST SOMETHING)
I DID IT AGAIN (I LOST SOMETHING) I did it again. I lost something. No newsflash to my readers, but like most of my goof ball moments the story is far from typical. I was on “vacation” last week. Vacation is in quotes because in general it was everything a vacation should not be and then some. That is a story for my next post. Last Friday was our last full day on the beach. We went surfing as usual for the week. The surf was good until a huge thunderstorm blew about 4pm. Gathering 1 Mermaid, 2 preteen boys, 5 surfboards, assorted beach gear and moving everything and everyone 200 yards to the truck took coordination and a bit of shouting. (at the boys who have no fear of lightening) As I was loading the gear in the back of the truck, the wind blew my hat off my head. (my new straw hat by the way) I rescued my hat forgetting my good sunglasses were perched on the top. I continued loading the gear and strapping the surfboards to the racks as the storm got closer. The loading finished. I wrapped a towel around me and dropped my trunks. Then the rain started for real. I hopped in to the drives seat to get out of the storm. The Mermaid and I had seen a gallery down the road we wanted to check out. So off we drove. I finished getting dressed in the gallery parking lot. We went in and while browsing the skies opened up and the rain came down in barrels. When the rain slowed to a moderate deluge we dashed to the truck. (Mermaid thanks for the incense holder. It is great ) Wanting to avoid the crowd at the house that we were staying at. It was decided to take the boys for pizza. It was not until I pulled into the pizzeria's parking lot I realized my sunglasses were gone. After dinner I drove to the parking spot for the beach to look for my glasses. It was under about 8 inches of water. They were no where to be seen. We checked the gallery parking lot too. Failure again. On Saturday we returned to the same break to surf for a bit to avoid the traffic off the island. After a few hours we loaded to leave. The last board secured I went to shut the tailgate. Then I saw between my truck and trailer a dark lens sticking out of the sand. Picking it up my heart sank it was my lens, but no glasses. They were apparently buried in the sand during the storm. There were multiple sets of tire tracks in the area. At minimum I drove my truck over them. I dug in to the sand about six inches and found one temple. Digging even deeper I found the remaining parts still connected in one sand covered piece. I rinsed the collected debris of my sunglasses. To my surprise nothing was broken. I snapped the lens back in place and reattached the temple. They still fit. Except for a small scratch on one lens they are no worse for the experience. Then is dawned on me, like my sunglasses. I have been scarred and scratched along the road, but dust me off and I am good to go again. Until Next Time I am as always viewing the world through scratched sunglasses |

Romi I agree. My soul certainly qualifies as worn and torn. As removing my ass from the seat. It was painful but I did it XX MJ
