A blue wave? The surf report.
An old surf hippies take on last night events.
The energy was pumping last night. There’s no doubt about that!
You could feel it in the air, you could feel it in the surf, you could feel it in the people.
But, was it a blue wave?
That is a great question.
Well, here in South Carolina, there’s no question that a wave of change hit. Dems in the national office for the first time since 1998.
Darline swept away by Annie. Nancy defeats Jenny (or so it looks).
Locally, across Charleston as well as James Island, the local Dem candidates did well.
But again, was this a blue wave even here in South Carolina?
We believe that may be a little bit too simplistic of an explanation. Let’s face it, South Carolina still retains its fierce independence as well as a strong red backbone. So the color is neither blue nor red, and it’s future remains murky like our Waters.
The Rich soil and sediment from the rivers flow into the sea, making our waves not the bright blue of the West Coast, nor even the clear aqua Green of Florida. No our waters are muddy and brown much like our politics. So we are calling it a Brown Wave.
Will these waters clear in the near future? I suspect not. But the wave of change has hit. The coastline is forever change and shifting as it always is. We shall watch the surf report carefully, because the seas and times of change are certainly upon us. How they shall shape the coast, our future, and our lives are yet to be determined.
So the surf report for Folly Beach in Charleston, SC is poor to fair with a trending towards fair. But the wave of energy, although it crested last night appears to have a slight bump this morning and weening as the day wears on. So people’s attention, energy and excitement will wane in the aftermath of this interesting event that occurred last night.
But, we believe their may be more energy pumping in as the winter and winds of change continue.
Watch closely to see how the surf report evolves, and changes over the next few months.
We will be.
