Myrtle Beach Sunday

Obligatory Sunrise ShotA loud explosion with accompanying car alarms woke me up.  With the same mindset as those throngs I criticized last night, I stepped outside to see what was happening.  Nothing appeared out of the ordinary (at least, for Myrtle Beach) so I stepped down to the lobby for coffee.

A man also getting coffee was full of information.  First, I found out that the explosion was a bird flying into a transformer nearby.  Funny.  I didn’t see any lights flicker.  Then he proceeded to instruct me on the best methods for using non-dairy creamer as an incendiary device.  The phrase, "Hey ya’ll, watch this" ran through my brain.  Finally, he filled me in on the tragedy from last night.  A man and his sons were floating in the surf, and got caught be rip currents.  One boy was pull under and lost, and the father suffered a heart attack while attempting to rescue him.  He died at the hospital.  The boy’s body was not recovered.  According to my source, it takes 72 hours for a body to wash up.  That gives me even less incentive to go swimming today, so we packed the car and headed out early.
