Hello and welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

The Eric Erickson show.

The phone number, if you want to be a part of the program, 877-9-7-9-7-9-7-3-4-25.

I hope the weather where you are is better than the weather where I am.

My goodness gracious, it's a wreck here in the southeast.

And I suspect it is the accumulated tears of the Braves fans after last night's game. What a wreck. What a disaster.

We won't dwell on that. I want to talk about undertows. I hadn't been to the beach in a while.

I love to go to Hilton Head. When I was in law school, had a buddy of mine, he had been in a plane crash, had a large settlement, had been able to buy property Hilton, and not on the beach, mind you, but he had a nice little house in Hilton Head and gave me a key to the place, and I could go down there I wanted and Hilton Head kind of became my place to go unplug and when I crossed the bridge,

I immediately relax. Now I am not a, I'm not really a beach person. You all have,

you all seen me? I'm so white. When I put on white socks, they disappear. I got to wear, I got to wear colored socks because I can't find them to take them off when I put them. I'm Swedish. My God, I have two colors, white and red. There is no brown at all except the freckles. I don't like the beach, but I love to go to Hilton Head. I love to go on the beach at night. I take astrofitography. I love

astrophotography. So I have a fancy camera and a giant telescope and I take amazing pictures of the stars at night on the beach in Hilton. I'll get up at 2 o'clock in the morning in March when we go on spring break. Now, I can't afford to go right now. It's kind of expensive to rent a house on the beach.

One day I want to buy one.

But I'll go in March and the Milky Way is coming up. Now, I can't afford to go right now. It's kind of expensive to rent a house on the beach. One day I want to buy one.

But we'll go in March, and the Milky Way is coming up around 2 o'clock of the morning, and I can take these fancy pictures of the center of the galaxy. It's fantastic. But there can be undertows at the beach, and that is, if you all don't know what an undertow really is.

It's when, you know, when the water comes in on the waves, it's got to go somewhere,

and what it does is it's got to go somewhere.

And what it does is it slips back beneath the surface and goes out.

And when there are storms and stuff, the undertow can be very strong.

But here's the thing you learn sometimes, even when it appears to be peaceful, there can be an undertow.

I was commenting on this with Joe Biden's polling a while back that there are no big events right now.

I mean, there really isn't anything.
