Trash comes in all colors and forms. What a smarmy looking POS.

Once upon a time I decided I was too judgmental and that I was going to give people more of a chance to prove themselves good or bad. We went swimming at the beach one late summer day. The parking lot was up on the hill and there is a trail to the beach. While we were going down the trail we met a group of three that looked about like this POS and they were headed for the parking lot, not far behind us. My gut told me to go back and wait until they left. My heart and my head told to give them a chance and not be judgmental.

I didn’t enjoy the time swimming because I had a feeling something bad had happened. Sure enough, we got back to the truck and all the stuff we had left under the seat; watches, billfolds etc. were gone. Both windows were broken.

Listen to your gut. We are given senses for a reason. We are wired to detect danger. The consequences of failing to listen don’t hurt anyone but you. If your senses are wrong and hasty in judgement you can apologize if it suits you. If your senses are not wrong and something bad happens it is too late for you and yours. Listen to your gut.

We live near Virginia Beach, VA. We don't go to the oceanfront to go to the beach. As retired Navy I am able to use the facilities on the bases, so we go to the beach at Dam Neck base.

I can't go in the water at the oceanfront. Somebody’s gotta watch our stuff. On the base we know everyone is military and the criminal riff-raff can't get there. You are fairly safe.

Also, if we go to the oceanfront, we have to pay for parking if we can find it, walk multiple blocks to get to an overcrowded beach, and again, you can't trust anybody.

At Dam Neck the parking lot is right there, you just walk over the dune, and there you are. It's a little further to drive, but it's well worth it. And the surf is better for boogie boarding.
