SCRATCHPAD
Help us capture your summer
By NIKKI DAVIDSON
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
Summer feels a little diff erent this
year.
Maybe you’ve fi nally experienced the
stomach fl utter that goes along with rid-
ing a county fair ferris wheel again. Or,
felt like pinching yourself when the reso-
nating vibrations of music hit your ears at
a live concert.
Perhaps you relished the return of a
crowd of neighbors gathered for a chance
to see booming fi reworks, and smiled at
the familiar faces throwing out candy at a
Fourth of July parade.
We’ve experienced many of these
memories summer after summer, but
never stopped to appreciate how lucky we
were to have them until now. One sum-
mer shutdown made these seasonal tradi-
tions seem distant and delicate.
The silver lining is now that we fully
appreciate simple freedoms, we can see
them in a diff erent light. The traditions
we’ve always known now have a bright
and shiny new luster.
Maybe this new world has even
opened up a diff erent path. Are you doing
something diff erent this summer that you
don’t think you would have tried if it
wasn’t for the pandemic?
Whatever your story is, we’d like to
hear it.
Tell us about the traditions you’ve
