Pinner and Slimmer

Saturday showed up with nice weather to start and good ocean conditions, but it was pinner - knee to shin high at 49 Steps and Tiburones. The weather turned late Saturday and victory at sea was served up, but by late Sunday the wind had changed direction and the surf cleaned up - not the water. I went out for lack of wet time and surfed wind-swell phat Second Bowl and doubled-up Sharks. Today was a beautiful day and the surf was cleaner at waist to head high. Got a couple of fun ones at Second Bowl. The swell was dropping throughout the surf session - doesn't look good for Tuesday - but the sun is suppose to be out. Quick rant. Apparently W got word that his purported biotrailers were a bust before he gave a speech laying the fear of Saddam in us all. The spin for not considering the contradiction in intell: "This is not a fast process, especially when dealing with complex issues - It is not typically something that happens in a matter of hours" That being said, and having conflicting information in hand, what was the rush to go start killing people - shock and awe. This kind of thinking does not bode well for our preemptive war strategy. And they're talking about nuc'ing Iran. Israel is flaming the fire - naming the new axis of evil: the new Palestinian government (whom they are already withholding money from and attacking daily), Syria?, and Iran?. Rachet up boys, the militaryindustrial complex pushes on. Next time I want to rant about the palace we are building in Iraq. We're looking to out do Saddam - river front, swimming pool, food court, American Club, movie stars - 104 acres. I'm sure the locals will love the downtown architecture and message about who rules.  ¶ 11:04 PM
