The Day Before Winter
The sky was clear.... the water was clear.... the weather was warm.... the wind was whipping out of the south.... fish were bitin' and the tide was up high.... oh so high..... life is good on South Padre Island....
Storm Clouds over Gomez Realty
It's a wall of winter... from no wind to north wind in the length of time it took a leaf to blow accross the street.... nice... so far not much water....

Words of Wisdom from a Longtime SoB
This arrived from Balde (aka Toby Beau) - he and Renetta are still in Hawaii:
Pirates,
In the last 10 years we have seen a great many of our friends fall away. Billy, Duane, M L, Joey, K C, Danny, and those are not the only ones. I can recall this late at night. Sammy Carrasco's death rattled me more than I thought. Pirates, the Grim Reaper has bought a condo on the Island and filling his quota with all our friends. Well, you know what! F... him. I propose this .....'" WE WILL NOT GO GENTLE INTO THIS GOODNIGHT." Not anymore. We will make a point to get checked up, the doctor is not the enemy, we will dust the cobwebs off of that old VHS exercise video tape and transfer it to dvd, We will have a salad instead of fries, We will walk to Circle K to get the paper instead of driving, We will notice when our wives look at our bellies and our hair then get that mournful look of longing in there eyes that can only mean "Gee I could have married better". We will get in better shape and we will verbally assault any pirate who doesn't. Drastic measures must be enacted, marshall law will have to be declared, We are at Defcon 5 Pirates, our lot is to plunder, not go six feet under. Lets make a change. Lets have a real surviversfest, the biggest one the Island has ever seen. We will invite everyone in the valley. We will have only healthy food and no booze! Well, we'll have healthy food. Send me your input.
I miss you all,
Balde

Who's your Padre???
He's even wearing a WHo's Your Padre? T-shirt... available at the SPI Tourist info center.
JJ was visiting from England and is missed terribly already. He fit right in to our group of misfits! Thanks to all SOB's for making him feel so welcome. He said he had never been so relaxed in all his life!
Cheers!
