Geo-don't try to make sense out of a thread started by a troll, it is bad for the mental hygiene.

Geo, you are exactly right! However, by not allowing canopies over night we are effectivly banned from using our canopy because it is simply too large to set up every day. Many canopy owners feel the same way.
30A Skunkape: I don't litter the beach and I did not start calling anyone names!....this is not personal (at least I don't think it is).
That's a good one...
But seriously,
On select days I carry 2 kayaks by myself across 30A down Spooky Lane and over the beach access. It is no easy task and depending on how I feel I might even make two trips or involve the car...
At the end of a grayt day of friends and family paddling them I carry them right back home...
I am not allowed to store them on the beach at night but have never felt like this means I am effectively banned from using kayaks...
Thx for the laugh. I'm going back to lurking now...
Contraction - - thus it's. But I could be wrong. We need Peapod to help us out with this one.
That's a good one...

And that, in a nutshell, is the difference between someone who believes in the principle that the greater good of the community trumps individual interests and someone with a "me first" attitude. Thank you, Geo. Like you, I'll continue to help keep the SoWal beaches clear so everyone can enjoy them.
And in the end, the opinions of the trolls and me-firsters won't really matter. The BCC has passed the ordinance, the Sheriff's Dept. is empowered to enforce it, and it's now THE LAW.
It's is the contraction of "it is". Quoting Mr. Rogers, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood".
Its is possessive. The sea turtle had a difficult passage across the SoWal beach to lay its eggs.
IMHO, it's about time we quit wasting our time responding to trolls.
Me, I've got a coupla new CDs (not CD's) from Sundog that I've gotta hear. See ya.

I agree!
On a positive note, Bdarg, Kate, and I went to Grayton Beach State Park to walk the little dune trail. When we arrived, there was a sign informing us that a Sea Turtle event was going to happen at 10:30!
We finished our walk and went to the picnic shelter, and the park ranger had lots of cool turtle stuff to look at- shells, preserved hatchlings, a cool video, and lots of pictures and info handouts. We were pleased to see about 20-25 visitors turn out for this, and hope they learned a lot about our turtles! It was fun to saee Organicmama and the 3 cuties there as well!
And can you believe the park ranger asked people to remove their tents and chairs from the beach every night?
If this forum had a delete feature that allowed one to go back and delete a comment at any time I would gladly go back and remove my angst comment.
Obviously in the process of trying to see good in all humans, my kind spirit was taken advantage of by trolls. I was also momentarily distracted in my thinking due to personal problems at home with my child.
I will not be that gullable in the future and to Jdarg and any others that thought I was supporting such ridiculous and juvenille behavior, I offer my sincerest apologies.
You have my blessings to tell all of them to "bite me".
And the next time I am in the area I will gladly join any one doing beach duty to clean up after such irresponsible behavior.
For I completely and totally support the efforts of those that love the area and wish to keep it as clean and pristine as possible.
