Observations of Seaside

Ah...they scalped it. That 'splains it. Very common this time of year.

Doesn't that stop the seeding?

Yikes...thats terrible! I hope that bikers are careful of cars too...... not saying your daughters manager did this, but people on vacation think they have the right-of-way in Seaside. They think it is yuppie Disney and walk in the street and get pizzed that you almost hit them. I had a man push a baby stroller with a baby in it, right out in front of me and I almost hit it! And boy...was he mad AT ME!!!! Not even at a crosswalk or the 3 way stop. Sorry, I had to vent this.....Seaside has an obligation to it's guests to forwarn people about the COUNTY ROAD that runs thru Seaside. I stop for people most of the time and am courteous.....but it is extremely dangerous and crowded and an absolute free for all at times.

This has been going on for ages. I can't believe any responsible parent would use a baby stroller as a traffic device.

Last week I managed to get a new SCRAAAAAATCH big ol, ding on my truck.......Oh Wait....I was parked and a 16 year old girl nailed my truck in her moms....huge SUV.....All i could do was laugh....she was "just trying to park".......in Seaside, right in front of Modica

Doesn't that stop the seeding?

Warm season grasses (like bermuda) only seed when they're really tall. You don't want them to get really tall--they will develop serious fungus problems. You also don't overseed bermuda like you do with fescue--it spreads underground.

After bermuda (and other warm season grasses) break dormancy and start to grow, the lower part of the blades brown out. Only the top part is green. You can't cut the grass lower than the green part later in the season, so if you let it get tall you have to leave it tall. So early in the season as it is first breaking dormancy, it's best to scalp the grass--cut it really low to cut all the brown off the top so that it literally has room to grow.

You would think........

still trying to figure out seaside's obligation...

Slow down and smell the tourists. Enjoy the buzz. Seaside should be approached the same as a walmart parking lot - with extreme caution and wonderment. Everyone has the right of way before you. And that is OK. Speed limit = 2.

Speed in Seaside?? Are you kidding me???

I have resigned myself to the mind racking idiosyncricies (sp) of driving thru Seaside. My nerves are now of steel. I do not honk, tail gate or yell. Except for March 21st......I had my fill of absolute, non courteous, brain vacuum, inconsiderate idiots.......especially the silver Mercedes with Ga tag, that pulled out in front of me (and I have a BIG suv) and went 10 mph all the way thru watercolor. My husband had never sen this side of me....but I HAD IT!!!!!

We all snap, even the calmest of folks on this board will probably have a "moment" at some point during the summer.

A little update:



Raw and Juicy -- Seaside -- Coming Soon!

...maybe as early as tomorrow! They have a target date of opening tomorrow, Friday, April 4. Not only is it cool, I've sampled plenty of product and it is mmm, mmm, good. You must check out this green bicycle up close. Jen has it attached to a blender, so you sit on the bike and pedal to operate the blender. I hear that will be for any customer who is ..., well, let's just say any customer who is not having their best day, if you know what I mean. :funn:Seriously, the bike is runs a blender. Even if good stuff isn't your cup of tea, go by and say hi. Jen is one of those super-cool people who make this town what it is.

I had one of these of Tuesday, just before 1pm. I was at the 4-way at 283 & 30-A, headed towards Seaside. A white Tahoe with Mississippi tages decided to turn left onto 30-A right behind the car in front of him/her, as I was proceeding across the intersection! Then the Tahoe tailgated a service truck until it pulled over just before the park. At that point, the Tahoe sped up past 60mph across Western Lake & into WaterColor, not slowing until the stopsign. Part of me wanted to follow them & yell slow the f down & learn what traffic laws mean!!!! (Especially cause the kids weren't in the car with me at the time.) Whoever was driving was a toolbag all the way through Seagrove.

Most of the time I can handle bad driving, but this took the cake on that one because it had DISRESPECT for other people's lives written all over it.

We've got a great story about Jen's new business in the April 12 edition of The Seaside Times.
Check it out!

I'm still laughing about the wheat grass. Maybe if they serve it Trace will come play a concert on the lawn.
