To the Editor:

I woke up the other day and figured I would take a ride to the beach. There was a big south wind the previous night with the right set-up for waves. Unfortunately, for me, the waves would be just to look at, not surf. I’m too old, too cold and have too many aches and pains.

The drive was nice until I hit Bonnet Island. Traffic was backed up due to the construction on Eighth and Ninth streets. It was kind of funny – I saw loaders pushing around mud. This should be a lot of fun on Memorial Day.
