Check out the front page headline in today's TNT: "Beach driving ban sought"

Seems the big-city crowd is tired of seeing those of us not fortunate enough to own beach-front property use their privately co-opted public resourse: "A proposal from Seattle-area lawmakers to ban the time-honored practice of driving on state beaches has represenatives of coastal communities frothing like storm-driven surf." Clueless suburbanites once again have their blue noses out of joint: "That [our insensitive intrusion on their seclusion] disturbs many people who come to the beach seeking tranquility and relaxation, only to find rumbling pickup trucks and miles of tire-tread ruts." The proposal is supported by the usual cast of characters, like bird watchers. WELL EXCUSE THE EVERLOVIN' SNOWY PLOVER [Bleeeeep!] OUT OF ME!!!! I'd like to shove my clam shovel sideways up their collective a$$es. But they might just enjoy that too much.

I certainly hope that the legislators from the non-consumptive use averse districts have enough collective juice to send this proposal back to perdition, where it belongs.
