The warm blankets on the bed just had been washed and put into the dryer. As they came out I can feel the warmness from the blanket. I lay there happily closing my eyes and listing to the rain softly hitting the floor and the window outside. As I wake up slowly I get dressed and go outside. I can’t wait to go outside because we are at our beach house in Hawaii. The beach house is located right where you can take two steps and feel the warm sand on your feet. As I go outside with my umbrella and boots I take a slow walk against the beach. I’m by myself no one else there but the ocean, I just hear the waves and the rain touching my umbrella.

Pitman set the precedent for the Owen Case, which prevented the use of navigational servitude as an argument against their case.…

They suggest that in order to properly measure threats to beach habitats, long term studies must be put in place, and these studies must be designed to bring to light which threats are natural and which are anthropogenic.…
