TAXI PLEASE!

            TAXI PLEASE!

   The condo our family is sharing
for vacation week has just about
everything we need. There's air
conditioning, multi channel tv,
bicycles and a beautiful pool.
    But this is the seashore so most
everyone wants to spend time away
from the tv and air conditioning and
at the beach.
    We're only about three blocks
away from the surf. But they've
long blocks, especially when you're
dealing with some foot and back
problems.
     Then, when you finally reach
the beach, you realize the Wildwood
beach is at least a quarter mile of
sand before you get to the waves!
     Today we found a way to make
the trip a lot easier!
      There's a small indoor garage
right at the boardwalk that only
charges $5 for weekday parking.
We loaded up the beach supplies
and drove to the garage.
      Then, after walking up and
over the boardwalk we found an
enterprising man who has hooked
up a trailer, with seats,  to his
pickup truck and drives passengers
from the seaside of the boardwalk to
the surf!
      It's only a couple bucks which
could seem expensive for a quartet
mile or so until you realize it's hot
sand, you're carrying chairs, towels,  
and bags filled with beach supplies,
and the like!
       At day's end you've got the same
ton of equipment  and you're tired!
So you go to the beach hot dog stand
and he calls the taxi back or you.
        Believe me, it's money well
spent. Especially for the return
trip!
        Hope he's there are week, and
that all your NEWS is good!
