That gnawing feeling

The name rip is fairly appropriate for the slashing currents along Cape Cod's backside. The recent Nor'easter tore yet another hole along North Beach, creating yet another island. Pleasant Bay might not be worthy of her monika now that her big bad sister the Atlantic Ocean seems to barge in with each passing sizable gale. Oh well it will keep the cartographers busy. Hmm...The insurance companies might be on to something when it comes to being a little nervous when it comes to covering all those new million dollar cottages that have sprung up since any really bad blows like '38 have come a calling. Cocktail conversation of the "Jetty" setters is surely to include rip rap on the rocks.
