On my drive home from work not too long ago, I swerved to avoid hitting something in the road and then realized it was a mama possum with her babies on her back. When I related the story to my brother, he reminded me of the time a possum was stuck in our mom's garage and snarled at anyone who dared enter. Lips peeled back to reveal yellow teeth.
I was reading an old People earlier. It was one with the story of the two boys, Troy Driscoll and Josh Long, who were lost at sea off the coast of the Carolinas for six days. I'd heard it before, only this time I remembered a tale I'd heard as a kid during one of my summers in Charleston. In the mid 40s, 4 teenagers set off for a night sail off Sullivan's or Johns Island - I can't recall which. The boat and the girls' bodies washed ashore the Edisto Beach a few days later. The boys' bodies were never found. This kind of thing sends shivers up my spine; it's subduing to think about the power of the ocean.
I'm going to go up to bed and talk to Dan about it. Sighs.
