Beachcombers   So you’re new around here? Okay, let’s hear your story, how it was back home — a small town, or maybe just a village, but near   someplace we’ve heard of, things we think we know about, cities in the news. Every year it’s like this: the tide comes in, the tide goes   out, we comb the beach for love, alcohol, and music — there’s nothing else we want. So you’re a newcomer in town. Aren’t we all.     © Michael Fleming Brattleboro, Vermont July 2013
