Red Tide

So i was all excited today, its beautiful out, a sunny 78. not too hot, nice and cool...so i drove to the beach. I knew they said there was red tide, so i knew i'd probably not be able to go in the water...WELL....i get there....and nobody is there first of all....nobody....secondly...there are literally hundreds of dead fish lined all up and down the shoreline....then..the stench of all the dead fish....BARF>>>>>>i drive to the edge of the water, and sat there in awe of this horrible site...then my throat started burning, i guess from the red tide. (not exactly sure what it is) my throat started to hurt so badly it was hard to breathe,smoking cessation, i started choking, and had to leave. how crappy is that! my one day off,stop smoking, and i can't spend it doing waht i love! i've only lived here 3 years and we've had red tide before, but nothing like this. it was crazy man!
