This beach is right in front of the Block Island house. Look how clear the water is, how perfect the sand.
I feel threatened. You can't walk Kathleen's home beach in Alabama any more. The white sugar sand is covered with brown gelatinous gunk, and the emerald gulf waters are a thing of the past. It happened so quickly—from perfect to a setting for one of those postapocalyptic industrial wasteland sci-fi stories. We might as well start our conversion to cyborgs right now so that all we'll need is motor oil.
Here is a picture of the Alabama coast two years ago.
I think I will walk on my beach today.
Yes. Take a walk while you can. The gulf is ruined for now and I hope they do something before it whips around the tip of Florida and heads up the East Coast. A shame.
