@ the Beach Again

You know, I'm not the only one scanning the beach for the perfect sea shell. Of course, the serious seekers are patrolling the sand much earlier than I would ever think of getting out of bed. Besides, it's more challenging discovering the ones that others have overlooked.

OK. So you can buy one for 49 cents, but it's not the same. And who among you would not stoop down to pick up two quarters?
