Akst: Doing little when much is needed

I hope the third time is a charm because I’ve already written two columns this week.

But a few summers ago, my family rented a beach house on the New Jersey shore about 500 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. It was one of the best vacations I ever hoped to have.

I don’t think the house is there now. It certainly isn’t inhabitable. Much of Strathmere, N.J., where the house was located is ravaged. Google showed me a picture of a guy kayaking down a main street.
