Today me and my friend went to a very windy beach. The wind was so strong that I was thrown down of my surfboard. We, human beings, are so ridiculous. And, you know, we are all going to die, sooner or later. Why are you, serious people, so serious about yourselves?

#littleme #surfside #thoughts

I’d like to leave you w/a good guess…
On how this rescue will continue to be handled…

About as well as…a wk-contract gets ya!

“As of now, crews in #texas have also received…
ONLY 1 wk contracts, a person familiar w/the operation said. Typically such teams need wks to dig thru difficult terrain & rubble, as they did w/the #Maui 🔥’s & the #Surfside condo collapse. For #HurricaneHelene 24 teams got to states immediately after landfall in late Sept, & stayed in #northcarolina thru early Oct.”

Man arrested in Surfside after odd behavior with ‘Chucky’ doll

A 35-year-old man’s behavior with a Chucky doll was disturbing enough that police officers recently arrested him in Surfside.

WPLG Local 10
When I moved into my #PompanoBeach Florida area #condo slightly more than 3 years ago my monthly condo fee was $350. After the #Surfside #MiamiBeach area condo collapse, the republican-led politicians in #Tallahassee forced Full Reserves on all condos 3 stories and higher built over 40 years ago with only a 2-year deadline. Our monthly payments skyrocketed and in January my fee will be $580 per month. Seniors cannot afford it and are being forced to sell and move north.
