Make Love, Not War

Hey - Valentine's Day is coming up - are you ready? Perfect time to press for something more than a violent solution. At home, in the water, and in foreign policy. I'm still recovering from a shoulder fix, and I'm getting anxious watching the boyz have fun. I haven't seen all-time surf, but there were a few days of west-southwest swell and sun. Pros and the masses alike were making the best of the situation. This is not the best time of year for Tiburones, but the west-southwest swell looked like it was working there, and those lucky boyz who caught it - Penguin, Rasta Mike, Greg, et. al, were stoked. I heard a couple of complaints regarding the brolationship between long boarders and short boarders. The constant rotation of platforms jacks the frustration level of the SBs on the inside, and increases the likelihood that boyz will be boyz. The fact that a pack of LBs are jockeying on the outside adds to the froth, and at times, hardly anyone has fun. Hot Dog - I hear you, but don't give in. Remember the times when the brotation is at work with LBs and SBs alike. The best surf sessions are the ones where the vibe is positive - and most of the time the size and quality of the waves don't matter. Ask the Mayor about the Barking Dog, or the no-standup rule.

It's tax time, and the dollars I pay out hurt - especially when I consider what the dollars are being spent on. Heard of Blackwater? Millions of dollars lost in fraud, cheating, and scams - dollars meant for Iraqis. How about the corpordinatio's evidence regarding Iran's supposed activities in Iraq? Reminds me of the posters of the mobile chemical weapons factories featured at the UN by the Neoidiots. How can we believe these liars a second time in their build up to war with Iran? Of course, people will. The picture above is of yet another first time at the Steps. Low tide wonders never cease.

No way as a way. No limits as a limit.  ¶ 10:42 PM 2 comments

 

In the Dark

It's dark outside, but I can hear the surf picking up. Can't surf right now, but I can visualize. Right now the buoys indicate the swell is not only picking up, but the direction looks good. The swell is at 6.6 feet from 275 at 14 seconds - sounds fun on paper. Tomorrow will come and we shall see. Down to the Steps.  ¶ 12:00 AM 1 comments
