Oh, gotcha, I know Indian Beach. We've stayed at Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach in the past. (along with Wrightsville and Topsail.)

Yeah, we like that deal where if you just hoof it a little, you can find your own patch of sand. Thanks for the insight.

Cross-posting as this one is a must read when you all get a chance:

I worked (briefly) with Fallows at the New America Foundation. He's basically Dan Rather if you took Rather's celebrity out of the mix. Thoughtful, kind, extremely wise.

Just got back from a week at the beach. The first few days we were there (Monday, Tuesday), it really seemed like the governor's declaration of masks required was making a difference. The little convenience store I go to for beer had probably 50% masks in it, where they were pretty much non-existen...

I mean, what fucking benefit to the Dems get by "controlling" us?
Isn't this just all projection? They love submitting to conservative leadership and adopting whatever stances they're told to adopt.

This. They are constantly contradicting themselves (unwittingly) on almost every front.

I'm convinced there's only two kinds of successful couples. The ones that just agree on everything and are more or less exactly alike in almost every single way and finish each other's sentences. Those couples are usually annoying as shit, but fortunately they're also rare. The much larger group ar...

I had to cut my Mass vacay short and drive home yesterday... For the first time this season I actually did my picks a day early (TH) and didn't no show.

I also think you guys should consider this: The only thing that really matters to this group (at the highest levels, so Miller, Ivanka, Kushner, Trump, The Idiot Twins, etc) is maintaining power. That's their "philosophy." So, they see the only way to maintain their perch in the WH is to get everyon...

And I have to say, after a week up here in Mass... There is messaging everywhere... EVERYWHERE about masks and social distancing. A number of places have signs saying "No Mask, No Service." I gotta say, it's fucking refreshing. MD is doing fine on this front, but too many instances of people not wan...

You wanna see where people being outdoors not wearing a mask is hugely problematic, go look up Alabama beaches - reopening - masks.

It's a fucking shitshow.

Had a SW chicken salad at a joint in Harwich on the Cape. It was fucking delicious BUT they put olives on it. Which was... a) not advertised on the menu and b) fucking gross.

And I think I've mentioned this, but where I work they've set up a big cross-departmental task force looking at The New Normal and sending out surveys to employees and managers about this stuff.

My wife and I were going to sell right before all this hit, but we decided to hold off. Now, we're both waiting to see what our work does about remote.

I am protesting people protesting to get their haircut by not cutting mine. It is a damn mess but I am going to be strong and fight the good fight. I'm enjoying having longer hair.

We need a push for the Caren Doctrine, where the C stands for Cunt and the rest of the acronym we can clean up in post editing.

I love my wife, very much. We are enjoying some much needed couple time in this really adorable little home on the water. It has one bathroom. This is not conducive to The Sexy Time. /i forgot how nice it is to have 2 or more toilets. when we are in hotels, I go down to the lobby to use that turlet.

Waving a gun around at unarmed people on the sidewalk isn't some kind of misdemeanor? Isn't that, like, basic "assault" territory?

Oh, forgot to mention... On the drive up 95, we decided it would be "safer" to stop in Jersey to gas up.

Well off white guys saying there's a marginal difference between Biden and Trump.

Mr. D (and JoeK to a degree) - honest question. You've done a good job of pointing out the weaknesses of Biden, the man, and the candidate. What would you have the Democratic party do at this point in time, regarding their presumptive candidate for president? Oh please do tell. I’d love to know thi...

Yeah, I was just projecting out what happens if the GOP doesn't course-correct it's outward white nationalism.

I was kind of just kidding around with the hypo. Who the fuck knows what's going to happen in 3 months, let alone trying to nail down the future of the GOP in 4 years.

God help me... You're comparing a race with an open seat to one in which there is an incumbent. There's a HUGE difference for a challenger coming into the summer with double digit lead over an incumbent. When it's an open race, there is a huge variance and the "unknowns" drive the "undecideds" and t...

I'm almost willing to forgive the Palin thing as just playing the traditional Washington game. You back your side, even if you have to hold your nose to do it.

Free house makes up for just about any nuisance. Agreed. We enjoyed our trip there, but it was a spring break, so the crowds were reasonable.

It's been my experience that once those types find a kindred spirit, they go all in on this shit.
