Hurricane Sandy : Odd Gifts From The Sea

Before orders to evacuate I walked the turbulent beaches of Atlantic Beach. During these times it can be fascinating to view what stuff roles up on shore the more distant parts of the ocean. Old children's pales and shovels , a ripped up banner that reads Cape Hatteris. A half deflated inner tube ,old wine bottles  lots of plastic bags and oh by the way several condoms. Nice to know people are practicing safe sex on the high seas. Refuse left behind generally.  So much junk , so little planet. Some say this could be a truly a horrible storm once the full consequences are felt and added up. They may be right , right now the sea looks like I have not seen before.....dark , all  encompassing. Going to higher ground.
