I would be more then happy to honestly report beach conditions to anyone who
asks . I'll throw in water clarity at no extra change. maybe i should
install a cybercam on the roof pointing at the beach then i can let everyone
look for themselves , if i add and angle towards to pool i can get
subscribers too , all the weaselly best ferreter, still the one and only and
i aint the "disgruntled club member" as some have privately asked.
