I hope everyone has a great Fourth of July as we move on our way back to normal…ish. Kind of. Moving along… Every once in a while, I screw up. When I do, I make sure it’s epic. Last month I decided that Luis Galvan of Agave was going to be renamed Luis Gomez. I know the man’s last name. For some reason (vodka), my brain just didn’t click on that error and I apologize for that Mr. Gomez. It will not happen again (yes, it will). Thankfully, Luis has a great sense of humor (tequila) and we all had a good laugh over it. Other than that, we’re in summer! Here are a few things to keep in mind: Don’t forget your SPF. Hustle across those crosswalks. Don’t run over anyone in those crosswalks. Don’t be an (noun). There are more things, but most important is go have fun! I do love the Traveling Beachcomber and am delighted to announce this month’s winners are Bill Cannon and Lyn Randall. They took us with them to the Galapagos Islands a couple years ago! Thank you and see you at A-J’s! They have the most amazing Watermelon Margarita. I may have mentioned it before…. Also, a shout out to Jenny Orr for letting us borrow her huge American flag! Thank you! Anyway, let’s get to it. Make me a drink and turn the page…. MAIN STREET MATTERS TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | JULY 2021 5 Georgia, Savannah River Ent.
