Here I am at the beach, either at Saint Simons Island, Georgia or Daytona Beach, Florida (60+ years ago). I wasn't there to observe the pretty girls. I was satisfying my curiosity by supervising a study of sedimentary structures in the Littoral Zone. It is entirely possible that I was fascinated with the manner in which the hole "filled itself" with water. (It would be at least a couple of years before I understood the concept of a "Water Table".)
Of course, I had seen a tub filled with a faucet and a bucket filled using a hose. But here was a hole that filled itself without any "outside assistance". (I do recall - whether it was here or not - having a "Wow" moment at a young age upon seeing that very thing. "Where did that water come from?") |
