Misty Waterlogged Memories 0
The Chincoteague ponies actually live on Assateague Island, just east of Chincoteague. Assateague, though, does not have a chamber of commerce. All it has is ponies, a glorious beach, deer, and bunnies.
(It used to have human residents, too, but not for many years; my father’s mother taught school there back in the 1910s before she married my grandfather.)

“The biggest threat, ultimately, to these seashores is that they will be largely or even entirely covered by the ocean,” said Stephen Saunders, president of the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization and an author of the report, “Atlantic National Seashores In Peril.”
But, hey! there’s no such thing as global warming.
