Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 13, 2018

would Petey prefer camping in the forest instead?

The beach is only temporary the forest can be longer especially if poison ivy or oak find you

I’m with Petey.

Petey obviously hasn’t been to the farm I work at during the summer….

Don’t forget the jellyfish and crabs.

Force voyourism of the obese in colorful Underwear!

Life’s a beach.

You’ll have fun whether you like it or not. ~ Dads world wide

Drunk kids on overpowered jet skis.

Contaminated sand with hookworms from dog owners who “bury” the dog’s poo in the sand…and lots of body shame-ing.

Four – don’t forget sand-fleas!

Sometimes the sand lingers as long as the memories.

Petey is such an optimist.

From the Walrus and the Carpenter, which is from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll:[http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/walrus.html](the beach would be great, if not for all that sun and sand and saltwater!)

The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand: “If this were only cleared away,” They said, “it would be grand!”

Petey is correct. Let Madeline and Peter and hyper-enthusiastic Alice go the beach. Let Petey remain at home, safely perched upon his bed reading Little Neuro stories of inaction….
