OK

Look, I know I can lag at times, and it might be a long time between posts, but what about the links? Have you surfed the links? Bayside for the fishing report, surf sites, ocean water quality, view of the coast - a site that provides info on analytical methods, weather, and various fringe news sites. Why don't you visit Aljazeer and have the Feds tag your URI. Next thing you know, you won't have to worry about reading this blog because a National Security Letter will be issued for you and the FBI will be having a Q&A session with you. I understand NSLs are being issued at the slightest whim, and it doesn't matter if the Feds are breaking the law - thank the Patriot Act. There is also a music cord site, a government documents site, and you can check the buoys. So, while I'm lagging, check out the links.

I'm finally back in the water and it's bitchen. Three days in a row - today being the smallest and most crowded - but it was wonderful to be out. Surfed La Bol Segundo and grabbed a couple at Tiburones. A couple of days ago the surf was waist to chest high, and yesterday the surf was the same with a couple of larger set waves. Of course, I didn't get any of the set waves, but Chappy did, then Hunter. How is it? Those guys paddle out and next thing you know a set wave is zeroing in on them. It's like some kind of strange triangulation. Hunter hops into his ride just as a set wave enters Monterey Bay and the wind starts to wavier. As Hunter drives down 41st, the set wave gets directed towards the Steps by Soquel Hole, and the wind starts to slack. By the time Hunter is in the lot and changing into his wetsuit, the set wave is bearing down on the Steps, and the wind is lightly brushing the wave faces. You look one way and see Hunter paddling out and you look the other way and a set wave is approaching. Before you have a chance to move, the set wave is jacking and Hunter is perfectly set up to crank down the line. The same set of circumstances happens for Chappy, Shannon, and the rest of the rippers - there's no doubt.

Well, now that our CorpGov is at a stand still and the talk runs like cheap wine at a college frat party. Guess what? - get some balls and end the whole bullshit event. Cutting funds for the war does not mean the troops have to find their own food and water and hitchhike home - I'm fuckin' sure. It means the war stops, negotiation stars, and the army leaves. Lets start fresh, stop the push to make better Nucs and start to show leadership towards peaceful cohabitation of the globe. In pure economic terms - equally increase the quality of life for all. Imagine.

Ambassador Chas Freeman Jr., ended one of his speeches recently: "All the world would still follow America, if they could find it."  ¶ 9:37 PM
