I need to tread carefully here. Not sure what is proper code on commenting on the daughters of fellow posters here...

Hilton Head is a favorite of my wife's and we go at least once every two years. It is nice except I hate that you have to always drive to go anywhere. The commercial areas are so separated from the residences. I know a lot of people like that, but I'm not one of them.

I bet you love Pawley's Porch, too...

Our place is on South Forrest Beach. We can walk to everything we need except Harbor Town. Coligny is right down the road.

I wish you would walk off a pier...

None near us corn boy.

Your girls are cute. If you ever need me to babysit, just let me know...

You couldn't handle it

Laird Hamilton shoots the pier in Malibu, but the best part is the end of the video...

Are you talking about he burger place in Five Points? If so, you're damn right. I love that place.

I thought this was cool

This island didn't exist a couple of years ago - volcanic eruption has created it. Its off the coast of Japan

"Are you talking about he burger place in Five Points?"

That's the one...

"This island didn't exist a couple of years ago - volcanic eruption has created it."

I bet you can get a deal on beach front property there...

Go for it. Idiot.

They could do an episode of "Naked and Afraid" there...

No wonder the oceans are rising....

Real pretty. The color of the salt water around the new island looks like what you see of the volcanic water in Yellowstone.

I have no idea how long it will take for that island to have vegetation and water that will support life around it.

Sounds like the ideal spot for Rat...

That is an excellent question. How long would it take? I suppose you'd have to start with rainwater and it would have to collect in areas where the acid from the molten lava wouldn't destroy the life-giving qualities of it. And the lava would have to break down to just enough crappy soil to grow.... weeds? I don't know what else would grow, but the seeds for those weeds would have to blow in from the air (over many miles of ocean water) or nothing grows there. But that is an outstanding question.

We have an incredible opportunity here for science students from universities all around the world to see how life developed from the very beginning, albeit from a tiny, isolated standpoint.
