Me (Changing subject): So... you do anything fun this Summer? Other Person: Yeah, we went to this big manmade lagoon Me: Oh nice, where at? Other Person: Uh...Texas City Me: What? Really? I didn't know there was a water park in Texas City Other Person: Well, it's not really a water park. It's a lagoon. Me: Ok, so what can you do there? Other Person: It's sort of like a beach, you can drink and the kids can swim Me: Ok...where exactly is it? Other Person: Uh, Lago Mar Me: What's that? Other Person: It's by the Buccees. Me: ....do you mean the big 'upscale' suburb on 45 where the homeowners are suing the builders for numerous issues? Other Person: ...yeah, that's it Me: Is that where you live? Other Person: Oh, no. I live in Kingwood. Me: So you took your family to a suburb pool in Texas City Other Person: No, it's, you know, a lagoon with a beach and stuff. And I think it's technically La Marque. Me: So you drove an hour south on 45 to go to a fake beach pool in La Marque 15 minutes from Galveston Other Person: Yeah, but Galveston, you know, has dirty water and seaweed and...other stuff. This place has crystal clear water! Me: So a big pee pool is preferable... Other Person: Yeah, big special event too, Dan Crenshaw threw a party and Blink 182....well, a Blink 182 tribute band was there! Me: oh....oh, ok..how much was it? Other Person: Oh, only a $5,000 campaign contribution! Kids had a great time, my wife got drunk again but these guys helped her to the bathroom at their house and I got to meet Dan! We had a GREAT talk about how Trump is going to take back the Whi... Me: Cool, man! Hey, I gotta run, stuff and junk! Other Person: Ok, I'll call you about the Amway stuff I told you about next week! It's a no-brainer!
It’s hard enough for a HOA to keep a pool clean, how is it going to keep a beach clean? Whether it’s wildlife, debris, etc., it’s not going to look pristine like a sales video. Want a beach? Visit a beach.
