Myrtle Beach, Samantha Brown and the Travel Channel
What do those 3 things have in common? You'll find out if you tune into the Travel Channel (channel 111 on TWC).
Here's a reminder from the Travelchannel.com. WEDNESDAY JULY 16, 2008 11:30 pm ET on Travel Channel Samantha Brown: Passport to Great Weekends - Myrtle Beach this weekend .
Samantha's heading to sunny Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It's famous for golf, but Sam's not big on golfing - so what else is there to do? Samantha hits the beach, bike trails and amusement parks, and goes crabbing with the Crab Cake Lady. She also gets some Shag Shoes from Judy at Judy's House of Oldies, and takes a shag lesson from Judy the Shag Instructor at Fat Harolds.
Here's a special link to Sam discussing here 5 fav things @thebeach:

Senate passes Medicare Proposal
Well, it ain't about the beach, but it is about a subject very near and dear to my heart (literally). It's about Medicare, and the new proposal the Senate just passed (yesterday, I think) about improving Medicare. Specifically, the legislation that the Senate passed would:
o Ensure that Medicare patients continue to have access to care;
o Improve prevention coverage and services;
o Improve low-income protections; and
o Provide improved coverage for mental health services.
If you saw anything about it at all on the news, it was probably overshadowed by Senator Kennedy's return to the Senate floor. But this is important legislation, and it's about to be run down and over by a threatened Presidential veto.
If you agree with the proposal (it's called the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008), then follow this link to send your personal endorsement to your Congressional leaders:
In solidarity with millions of Americans that rely on Medicare, tell President Bush to Keep Medicare Fair by signing the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 into law TODAY!
In my state, both our Senators voted against it, why I don't know. But I am for it, and hope you would be as well. And if you agree with me, follow the above link and get involved.
That's it for now - Pray for Surf - and TTFN

Plane Crashes in NMB
My nephew-in-law and good friend Doug comes running in the house yesterday hollering at me to hurry and and come on down to the beach. A small single engine banner plane has crashed into the surf, and is upside down in the waves, about 10 - 15 feet off the beach itself. Well, I grabbed my vidcam and we raced off to the beach. Here's the video of the whole thing:
Now, was that exciting, or what?
Well, today is July the Fourth, and everyone will be celebrating in a myriad of ways. We're off to that most traditional of all celebrations, a knock down drag out pool party. Lots of good food, cold beer, frozen margaritas, and some really good beach music. Can't ask for more. And I think it was my long ago ancestor who said originally, "Give me Liberty, or give me the 2 party system, one on Friday, and one on Saturday."
'Nuff said, let's party. TTFN, and we'll see you at the next post.
