Ugh that's awful. I nearly drowned at Virginia Beach when I was 13 or 14. An off-duty firefighter saved my life. It would have never occurred to me to be anything less than eternally grateful.

OK, a question. How can a beach have an owner? It's not like an acre in a subdivision you just drop a house on. Also, did this put you off helping people in the future?

That's just sick. When I think back to the early child care I got, it includes a neighbor lady who took care of about a dozen babies and toddlers who hugged every one of us before we laid down for naps, and a preschool run by a church where we all got hugs on graduation day. I can't believe that things have changed so much in 20 years.
