sittin' on the beach of the bay

Posted by Daniel H on December 8, 2020, 12:44 am

Sittin' in the evening sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening's gone
Watching the trucks roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the beach of the bay
Watchin' the sand roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the beach of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home up North yea
Headed for Tenacatita Bay
Cuz I had nothing to live for
And looked like nothing was gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the beach of the bay
Watchin' the sand roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the beach of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this beach my home, now

I'm just gon' sit on the beach of a bay
Watchin' the sand roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the beach of the bay
Wastin' time

I think it may be best that you are not here right at the moment.

The number of trucks going to and fro on the street in front then add all the machines working on the beach is stressful / disconcerting right now.

Add to that the concern over how much sand they are removing. All over the world they are building barriers to combat sea level rise and here we are removing it!

Sitting on the beach last night I felt a poem trying to surface, it flt like it was going to be about managing concern. But when I went to express it nothing came out except Sittin on the beach of the bay.

This too shall pass.

I think they are trying to get it done before the holidays. They are going to need a good high tide to make it right and I don't see one coming any time soon.

It seems all the sand they are removing is going to the lagoon to fill in that water hole in front of it - so, when they need to drain the lagoon again, will they put the sand back?

Fromm what one of the workers told me last night they are done putting sand by the Lagoon (which I think is a good place to put it) and are now putting it over by the rock quarry by the clinic.

Before they were just storing the rocks there, I will go by later to see how much sand they have put there.

Hopefully they are putting the sand someplace they can get it back if needed.

I hope no one has a plan to use the sand stored at the quarry for a construction project. Beach sand (with salt in it) is not a good component in concrete.

Lagoon and Quary updated photos

Drove by the Lagoon, they put more there but nothing looks like it is fresh from today

Drove by the Quarry, they are putting a lot of sand there

Drove by again on the way home, they are pushing the sand over the rocks, so there goes using the sand as a back up.
