Shell Games


It never ceases to amaze me. The manners of our northern visitors. By and large they're the most self centered, cheapskate bastards that I can think of. This is a perfect example. For years, each winter they come in hoardes, like migrating shitbirds. One of their favorite pasttimes is rape, pillage and plunder the resources. Some of them fish every day in the surf keeping virtually everything (except stingrays which they drag up on the beach and leave to die in the sun..."them damn things are vicious Gerturde..." )They fish with fifteen foot long rods spooled with five hundred yards of thirty five pound test to catch fish that don't weigh half a pound. And the women....they walk up and down the beach and bay all morning every morning with walmart plastic bags in hand, eyes glued to the sand and mud, taking every hapless shell in the way. So much so in fact, that a whole area adjacent to their favorite trailer park has been almost wiped out. The other night there was a meeting with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and several of the viejitas showed up, bitching and complaining how the new law, designed to close that area was targeted specifically at winter Texans...well....no shit. They're the only ones who act in such a classless manner. There's even one guy who comes here in a motorhome from Florida every year, and takes tens of thousands of shells...doesn't make any difference to him if they're live, have hermit crabs or anything like that. My friends George and Scarlet have been on a crusade for a long time to limit the plunder of this area, I hope it succeeds.... Posted by Hello
