The Obligatory "What's This All About" Post #1

The first post is always the most difficult, isn't it?
Like the foundation stone for the Great Pyramid, it sets the the direction and tone for all the content to follow... despite the fact it will be shortly be buried, archived, and forgotten.
So to get this out of the way quickly, I resort to the bulleted list:
  • This blog is focused on the "beach lifestyle" as enjoyed on the World's Most Famous Beach. There will be posts about the peculiar things that make Daytona Beach a legend (no matter how decrepit it has become). There will be odd stories, unbelievable reports, and various shenanigans.
  • It is not another surfer blog. Although surfing is big here, the surf is not. There are blogs managed by real surfers living near real surf. Visit them if you want surfing content.

  • There will not be any nonsense posted about turtles, seabirds, dolphins, or sundry other critters. Critters are nice to see but I don't give a particular damn about them.
  • No lighthouses. I once rented a beachfront house for a year. Inside was a framed engraved plaque of a poem by some Improvement Society lady about the Ponce Light (in the first person voice of the lighthouse, no less). It was not a good poem. The plaque was bolted to the wall. No mas, mi amigo, no mas.
  • Posts and comments about the odd characters, strange happenings, and fond memories of yore are most welcome.
  • Although Bikini Season will be a frequent topic, formalized with Official Annual Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Bikini Season will not be a prurient topic. Bikini Season will be treated with the reverence it deserves: the time and location where women from around the world enjoy the freedom of coming to the beach to share God's wondrous creative powers with the appreciative public. Peepers, gawkers, and spankers not welcome.
I'm bored, so that about wraps it up.
