Well I hope your bag of freshly purchased groceries didn't count frozen perishables among those items. If that's not the case, then please accept my condolences on the loss of your ice cream.
I thought about a couple of things more than others in the course of reading your article, and by the way, thank you for sharing; it was an enjoyable read, with provoking thoughtfulness. Thank you for the reveal at the end of your article too - I most enjoyed being disturbed by your headline, reinforced by the second sentence, having to endure my disagreement until the very end, for the contradiction. My favorite kind of vetting that results in culling the tl;dr crowd.
As a matter of support for your ponderance, I'll offer that, 'They' never win - My daddy taught me that "They and them are the biggest liars there are."
I'd also like to suggest that, perhaps, the notion that this little seaside park was, "...not a place I frequent because it's really not "on the way" to anywhere.", might be due to being in and of itself an actual destination; and by the sound of it, a destination offering solace for you in the form of great significance.
On another note, I'm beginning to see that many folks that publish here have a sort of extended footer, or addendum maybe, they paste at the end of their articles. I should consider fashioning one for myself if I get back to posting articles myself. In that section you mention that the editor you utilize is PeakD, and I'm here in Ecency right now, having observed slight differences and features in the UI between them and Hive.Blog.
Perhaps, if you don't mind, you could share what you think some of the pros and cons are between each of those three platforms when publishing on HIVE?
Once again, thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed reading it!
Kindest regards,
⛵
