Stopped in the one in Alabama this weekend.  There wasn't but a couple of parking spaces in the whole lot.  Makes the ones in Katy and Baytown look empty.  Hopefully survived that.  I'll know in a day or two.

The only reason we stopped there was to meet my daughter.   It was a halfway place between her and us.  They just got another dog and needed the spare crate we had.

Some of the beaches opened down here were packed like sardines. Looked like that Jaws movie...

Interesting,  that movie emphasized a new local reporter who was cautioned not to mention "shark" in her report but instead "fish infested waters." The Mayor and City counsel urged a "boating accident" narrative. 

 

 The scientist is brought in comes and calls bs on the boating accident and then there is a struggle whether to close the beachs. A kid eats it on his raft.

 

Mother slaps Chief of Police saying he knew. 

 

They finally acknowledge a problem and confront it directly.

To be fair to the Sheriff, he was against it as, they had disemboweled another species of shark and had looked at the radius bitemark. Not the shark.

Tell you what a challenge is 

Wearing a mask in this all consuming heat and humidity.

When in AZ awhile back, it was hot but not humid at all.

Did that in Hono.  Everyone else did there too.  They still are.  Keep the tourists out and it has worked.  But then there was a call for diversifying the economy.  Crickets and no attendees.  At least in texas after the oil crash the economy was diversified.  At the time people just walked away from their houses.  The economy sucked.  Hawaii still won't learn from being dependent.  A corollary is learning from being dependent upon anything....fossil fuels, cult of personality, extremist rtards...

Must be nice in the islands. Maybe one-day...

Chief, not Sherrif, it's an important distinction. Sherriff's are typically elected and police chiefs are typically (not always) appointed/hired by city council or city manager.

 

Sherriffs are only answerable to the people, the check/balance to this is County/Parish controls their budget.

 

Chiefs on the other hand can be fired by Mayor/City Council/City Manager. Thus, a mayor can influence someone like Chief Brodie on how quick to take action, what crimes to emphasize, ignore and so on.

I do stand corrected. He was correct though. Mayor deserved any slap.
