I am not submissive by any means. If I had the means, I would have a house on the beach, knowing that sooner or later the odds are it would be hit as hard as the Gulf Coast. I love the ocean, the salt air, the ever present sound of waves breaking. It is a risk I would take, I love the ocean air that much.
I am not singling out anyone in the Gulf Coast. God knows I would be hard pressed to leave my home. But for man to think he has control over nature is a bit self-centered. We can predict events with reasonable certainty and do our best to adapt, but most we cannot control.
Me too.
But make mine on a high cliff--and one safe from erosion.
Salt air's tough on the house and furniture, though.
