Easter. Island.
Yesterday, Mike and I attempted to get out to Tybee Island. Unfortunately, it was 93 degrees and everyone and their visiting relatives had the same idea. There was not a legal parking space available on the island. With our luck being of the Murphy variety, we were not about to risk what we saw others doing - parking in unmetered spots. Tybee doesn’t screw around when it comes to parking enforcement. I don’t blame them. It’s a sweet source of revenue. Of course, this meant we saw people with multiple tickets on their cars. What’s worse is we saw people pulling up right behind the cars with numerous tickets and parking. Hope that $30 spot was worth it.
To celebrate the resurrection of Christ, we went to see the Savannah Sand Gnats lose to the Asheville Tourists. Well, perhaps our motive wasn’t exactly religious, but it was spent with family and it was a lovely way to pass the afternoon. It was a bit hot, however. Mike snapped proof:

We rounded out the evening with a delicious southern fried chicken dinner. We’ll wait until next week for ham when the unsold easter meat goes on discount. Mmmm, discount meat.
Happy Eastra!

i love that area of the country and i’ve spent a lot of time in Charleston. it just gets too hot there. Sarasota is further south and it never gets like that. I remember living outside of Columbus, Georgia. No breeze, just stagnant heat.

Obviously, the heat is due to man-made global warming. Just ask Albert Gore. Even Roger Ebert is a new true believer.
Never mind that your area used to be colder than a November day in Northern Michigan a mere 8,000 years ago. It’s hot because of your SUV! Head for the hills!

If global warming means I get to go to the beach in mid April, bring it on. Oh, and sorry about the delay in getting your comment posted. Due to an onslaught of spam coming from spoofed g-mail accounts, I’ve made gmail an ‘auto-moderate’ word. Blame the bored Russian spammers…or maybe Koreans…
