this is so annoying, it's the last week of summer, i'm finally like 99% caught up with work, annnnndddddd.... the weather stinks perfect

yeah, i know. this weekend is gonna be dedicated to service and beach. the weather better cooperate.

meh, i checked the 5 day forecast and it's supposed to rain. *sigh* can't have anything nice

Ah, they're never right 5 days out. Where were you planning on going to the beach?

My town. Island Beach State Park.

? YOU PAY to go to the beach? Wha? http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/island.html

Is that unusual? You usually have to pay at least to park where we go in CA.

Yeah.. I guess I am used to a socialistic society up here.. 'we' own the land and its free. We do pay for parking in the 'city' beaches but that is about it. (Camping in parks are a different story...
