Valarya - you are a long ways from the sea! Must be rough for you!
I live a few blocks away, and can't get enough of it. Except for 5 years in Fairbanks, Alaska, I've always lived within 30 miles of the sea. I love the shoreline (not being out to sea, but being on the shoreline, or near it).
I have many fond memories of camping on the beach with my parents and brothers. My dad, a merchant mariner, then a shipbuilder for a while, and a yachtsman until he had to give up his last sailboat when he turned 80, always loved the sea. When going through my mother's papers recently, I came across her 25 favorite things. Number one was walking on the beach. As I recall, they never fought while at the beach. Both were always very happy there.
So. I've added my avatar. Not sure if I'll keep it because I'm not used to having such an easily recognizable mug. But I'll leave it for a while.

But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails.
