After Burlington Police and Spillane's Towing had a good time ruining the afternoons of many out-of-staters, nobody could stop the sun from shining at North Beach.

Everyone seemed to have the same idea on Friday and headed down to the beach. As cars drove in circles in the BHS parking lot, most of us (those of us who aren't keen on having our cars towed) ended up parking a little walk away. In the midst of swarms of already tan girls (naturally tan, of course, because this was the first weekend we saw the sun in months... hmm) were frisbees and footballs flying. Two police cars just sat in the parking lot, abandoned by their respective drivers who were feet away, chatting with shirtless boys reeking of Keystone. I guess the cops wanted a relaxing afternoon, too. And what better way than to helplessly and overwhelmingly watch thousands of underage kids getting shwasted at the beach?
