It's a small mall world!  Washington, Pa. is my home town and the home of David Bradford who played a key roll in the Whiskey Rebellion.

The Whiskey Rebellion (also known as the Whiskey Insurrection) was a violent tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 and ending in 1794 during the presidency of George Washington, ultimately under the command of American Revolutionary War veteran Major James McFarlane. The so-called "whiskey tax" was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. Beer was difficult to transport and spoiled more easily than rum and whiskey. Rum distillation in the United States had been disrupted during the Revolutionary War, and whiskey distribution and consumption increased after the Revolutionary War (aggregate production had not surpassed rum by 1791). The "whiskey tax" became law in 1791, and was intended to generate revenue for the war debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. The tax applied to all distilled spirits, but consumption of American whiskey was rapidly expanding in the late 18th century, so the excise became widely known as a "whiskey tax". Farmers of the western frontier were accustomed to distilling their surplus rye, barley, wheat, corn, or fermented grain mixtures to make whiskey. These farmers resisted the tax. In these regions, whiskey often served as a medium of exchange.  Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers...   (from Wikipedia)

If you are wondering when you are going to get some better beach detecting, don't expect much improvement real soon.  Tropical Storm Odette is doing more for the northeast than us.  And the next system in line is probably going to fall apart before doing much for us.

Nothing more than three feet on the MagicSeaWeed predictions for the Treasure Coast for the next week.

And the GFS model shows why.   You can see that on Ventusky.com,

The system that looks like it might be headed our direction, by next Thursday is very weak.  You can see what remains of it down by Santo Domingo.

That is according to the GFS model, and we can't know for sure yet, but that is what it looks like now.  Little hope for any big improvements next week.
