How You Can Enjoy a Day at the Beach Anytime, No Matter Where You Live

Take a Virtual Walk on a Southern California Beach

Cooped up in a corporate American cubicle? Pooped out by professional pompousness, palaver, and paperwork? Or do you just want a little glimpse of the beach you love so much. You can have it right here at BeachAlert archives (coming soon).

Caught up in the corporate/professional rat race? This new extra-curricular feature relieves stress, while it entertains and relaxes you as you sit at your desk. Let BeachAlert free your mind, increase your creativity, and give you a well-deserved "beach break."

Written in a style suitable for a precocious six-year-old with a dictionary, BeachAlert is nice and simple, so you can just relax and enjoy it and won't have to furrow your brow to figure out what it's trying to say. And it's nice and short, so the boss won't get mad if you read it at work.

If you are the boss, you must be really busy. You can read BeachAlert really fast and then get right back to being really busy.

Work may feed the body, but going to the beach feeds the soul.

BeachAlert can help you get your head on straight before the chaos of the day sets in. Do they have chaotic days where you are? If not, BeachAlert may not be for you.

But can you say "seagull," boys and girls? If you can, then chill out for a minute, and let your mind fly free. Take a virtual walk on the beach with BeachAlert. Your body and mind will thank you.

Okay? Okay. See you at the beach.

Need a book to read at the beach?

Welcome to BeachAlert! the zine that gets your head on

straight before the chaos of the day sets in. You'll

get one at least once a week, because I take walks

there almost every day. You'll chill out just as if

you'd been there yourself. Feel free to pass

BeachAlert! along to your friends, but please leave

all contact (and copyright) information intact so

that they may, if they wish, get their own subscription.

Ready? Here we go:

BEACHALERT!

by Lynn Fountain Campbell

Once upon a time there was a beautiful beach in
Southern California. It had pretty little houses
lined up along the strand. They cost a million
dollars. Let's live there when we grow up, okay?

Then we could take a walk on the beach every day. We
would see things like runners and walkers, skaters
and cyclers, surfers and swimmers, lifeguards on
patrol, surf fishermen, and people hanging out on the
pier.

We would see seagulls and other kinds of birds, happy
little clams, and fishes swimming in the little pools
that happen when the tide is low. We might even see
a seal or two.

The sand is vast, the ocean is vaster, and the sky is
vastest of all. How could any human problem seem
anything but trivial, in the face of all this
vastness.

All these creatures, human and otherwise, are happily
doing their thing, and nobody is messing with anybody
else.

No wonder folks at the beach mostly live happily ever
after.
