You'd think there is no use to 100% humidity and heat indices in the mid-nineties. And normally, you'd be right. Except after I come from work, after the sun sets the air is warm enough and sand is warm enough for me to enjoy a rather long swim in the still-warm ocean. And afterwards, to hang out on the beach watching the dusk set.
Sweet!
Sweet!

I fucking hate all the liberal shitbags who advocate a nanny state, taking away people's responsibility for their own actions.
I hate them. Why? Because at 8pm a whole cadre of NYC parks employees, on foot and on wheels, showed up at the beach and started whistling people out of the fucking water. People, just like me, came after work to enjoy a swim -- the water is fucking awesome -- and they couldn't, because they -- all mature adults -- can not be trusted to handle themselves in the water. They are not fucking allowed to swim because, see -- we can drown without the fucking lifeguards. And then the lawyers will sue the City and then oh my God we better outlaw swimming.
I am genuinely pissed the fuck off. Why the fuck am I not allowed to swim when I fucking want? Why can't NY do the same thing I saw in San Diego and LA -- put up the signs that warn people of danger of unsupervised swimming (rip currents etc) and then let them swim at their own risk if they so desire? What piece of shit asshole came up with the idea that grown people can't make a risk assessment and deal with it, kinda like crossing the street?
No, they want to hold our hands. Hold our hands while they rob us of our money and our personal freedoms. All the while telling us they are doing it for our benefit. Hold our hands to our fucking graves.
I hate the motherfuckers.
