Very nice, Carol.
This photo reminds me of a Rams head about to slam into a stone wall.. Sorta like the way common sense informed people in this town must feel every time we have certain council members, mayor, and city employees using tax payer money to fund studies that result in backdoor taxation in the form of our latest “Utility”. I never would have ever guessed years ago that a little town like this could be so creative in coming up with ways to reach into my wallet, and in such a subversive way, and soooo often. And to feel so powerless to stop this collective greed and mismanagement and waste of money and to see so much blatant disregard for statements/positions/promises made to voters, it is almost too much to phathom. I can certainly answer the famous question – “Are you better off today than you were four years ago”? (or six or eight,or ten)? Resounding NO! Hell NO. The blume is definetely off the rose in this coastal beach retirement/tourist town.(Or whatever it wants to be referred to as…….) Oh, and let me say that one should probably not waste your time writting to elected officials if your position/ideas are not the same as those who influence them or if they have already made up their minds. Its an exercise in futility. Don’t bother to try to be part of a solution, you’ll just get in their way and be seen as part of the problem.
Wow! Stunning!
I was regretting not having my camera Saturday as we walked the beach enjoying the blow back spray on the waves. So, thank you Carol! Beautiful as always 🙂
So pleased the beautiful photos are back!
