by BitterboxcarI was 18 at the time, hanging out at Surfers Point around 10pm, smoking a cigarette and laughing with three other friends about something or sum-such, when this guy, around of the age of 40, walks up to us and asks us to call the police in 20 minutes to let them know there will be a body on the beach. He is wearing a Culligan work shirt with the name tag 'Andrew' stitched above the left side pocket. He then proceeds to walk down towards the water, which is about 30 yards away.

We sit there wondering if he is just a local crazy, watching him slowly walk towards the water's edge, when a lady comes up to us to ask if we had seen a man walk by in a Culligan work shirt. We point towards Andrew, and she sets off after him, at a bit of a brisk pace. As Andrew reaches the water's edge, the lady reaches him and they start to yell at each other. It appears that the argument is getting more heated by the second, so we all get up and walk over to make sure the lady is okay, and that Andrew won't hurt himself either.
All in all here are some good videos by the British band Wire. They began back in '76 and their newest album Object 47 is slated to be out early July. They are said to have influenced more people than peer pressure. I'm sure Andrew would like this band.
