Train Keeps on Comin'

The surf has been non-stop - freight cars, passenger cars, lumber cars, cement cars - they just keep coming. Much of it has been head-high and over-head. Just in the last few days the surf has dropped to between waist and shoulder-high. Of course, that's just because the steep 310 swell direction doesn't hit the Steps as well as the Point. For the most part, the swell direction has been between 290 and 300. Throughout the last two weeks I've had some great waves. I rode the Progression thruster and green quad - the azul fish has been dry-docked since my collision with Nicky. Saw Collin out on his fish on Friday evening at Sharks - the waves with shape were few, but I saw him grab a few and I ended my Second Bowl session there with a good last ride. I also saw Terry making his way down to Terry's Bowl. Thanks to Shannon for keeping the LBs clear on the smaller days when all would be lost if the LBs gathered in mass. Have you guys seen the new goofy-footer at second bowl. Sebastian's been surfing the Steps for a few months and is ripping it - I swear I saw him just about upside down while slashing the lip - no-cord and made it look easy. Up there with Peter - and same great vibe. It's top100 when kids like that show up. The Mayors new board was showcased one morning - another beauty. Watch out this summer for a green plank gliding in front while you charge down the line - it's ok, it's just the Mayor. News: recently the largest prime number to date was discovered - (2^30,402,457)-1, insane! Back to spying on you and me - remember carnivor? Still out there with no leash. According to some poll, 65% of the public think esurv is ok - even while breaking the law. SPB. All I have to say is - wait until it happens to you. What about Congressional oversight of the matter? The fearless leader says, "as long as it doesn't help the enemy." It seems to me that the "eneme" would like nothing better than the degradation of our constitution - the breakdown of our government. According to W, the eneme attacked us because "they hate our freedoms." Yet, by domestic spying while ignoring the rule of law, W restricts our freedoms, ignores our constitution, and works to degrade our system of government. Whom is terrorizing whom? As Gore recently noted in a pretty heavy speech, the Bill of Rights were incorporated at a time when our country was at war for its life. Is the current war of choice - the war on terrorism, so much more critical that our rights under the constitution should be compromised? What disrespect for all those who have given so much so those rights are protected. A king can stand people fighting but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist (1879-1935)  ¶ 7:31 PM
