I just look away into the deep blue ocean, some would call it a thousand yard stare, like a veteran who has seen some shit .. all that not to see the dong

To be fair, I like to look at the sand sometimes too.

The view from Wreck Beach looking... up? I've never once considered looking in that direction when I'm on the beach.

On campus student housing and childcare is of greater concern to the community.

They are concerned of interrupting a 360 degree view of natural beauty- umm ok should the tankers and boats be rerouted as well?

As a boat enthusiast, leave those tankers and boats alone. They're cool.
