Rat or Vole

With the lack of surf, I have been busy working - Allah forbid! With my extra time, I've been spending summer with my youngest son - having a blast. Soccer tournaments, swimming to keep in surf shape, and researching the curious rodents that inhabit the cliff at the hook. Some say they are rats - others call them voles. My own research indicates that the vermin scurrying about the cliff are voles. Notice their raceways through the weeds and grass - typical of the California Vole. I've included a picture for reference. Well, I went surfing today. Surf was ankle- to thigh-high with sets penis-high (or whatever your crotch holds). Used my SB, but it was hurting because the waves were high-tide phat. Got one little one that allowed four turns. I wonder if you heard the latest doublespeak from the leadership. Apparently, Mr. Bolton completed a form that asked if he had testified within the last year at any hearings. He stated no. Then, it was revealed that six months earlier he had testified to a grand jury investigating some string connected to all the other strings that weave the fabric of deceit that is the trademark of our current group of talking heads. We were told he didn't lie, he just mistakenly forgot. When asked about the oversight in hearings - he stated he mistakenly told the committe that he did not testify within the last year. I like the many flavors of the english language. So useful. Bolton got in anyway via the backdoor. Latest on the hit count for "struggle against violent extremism: S.A.V.E. - up from 121,000 to 173,000. Rumors of surf jump from surfer to surfer like wildfire - imagine what that first day will be like - everyone you know, everyone you don't know, the internet and cell-phone photos spewing out the word - I can't wait. Still working on East Side meets West Bank - might be better than surfing that first day of the swell - whenever it shows. See ya in the water.  ¶ 11:33 PM
