Lost in the fog, scared by the crowds, crying, calling for Mommy?
. . . yep, that was me . . .
Oh, I forgot, there were probably more people lost in the fog than that single boy, but they were not brave enough to admit it.
Now you have to support our North Beach businesses like North Beach Towing, the Pharmacy for the headache remedies of choice, PAWS, and the Physical TherapistsT, Massage Therapists, and Religous Organizations the Sunday Morning After. As to the complaint, could they even hear the person over all the pops, booms, and screeches of fireworks?
only 62?
I think you forgot 119 cars stuck in the sand, 40 tired police and fire persons, 1 lost dog, and 62 highly intoxicated people camped out on the beach. Oh, and 1 fireworks complaint (not confirmed).
