Hot Enough to Have Beach Day Again

Went to the beach on this beautiful, hot day. Water was great. Heard a family nearby cry they were bit by a fish. Yeah, it happens when swimming in lakes with fish stocked.

Had quite an experience at the snack stand. Had group of kids preparing to leave stare at me while I was eating. Unsure if they were admiring my chicken strips or the SpongeBob kick board I had next to me. Yes, I have SpongeBob kick board though seen few episodes because I bought it when I took niece and nephew to the beach when they were kids. Shame they grow up so fast.

Sure free money is nice, but my paycheck has to cough up the other half of that contribution. Of course, I can always cancel the cable, charity alms, cell phone, and internet if I need money to contribute to my 401K. And put off health insurance one more year. My struggling barely above the poverty line (depending where one draws the line) reminds me of something my Dad told my Mom when she complained of lacking a wealthy lifestyle her friends had. He said: You were born poor, you married poor, and you will die poor, so get used to it. And many of those people living in fancy houses are up to their ears in debt. Then again, my Mom is the type who can...
