Due to budget cuts, the modern kiosk at San Onofre will be replaced by the state parks with this old school kiosk with an ATM next to it. The electric lighting will be replaced by oil lamps to save funds.

Tubesteak is Alive And Well
Media reports of Tubesteak's demise are in error. The confusion is based upon the death of Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Madison-based meat processing company that bears his name. He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer Foods, which once was Madison's largest private employer. Similar confusion between Tubesteak and Oscar Mayer family members occurred in 1955 when Mayer's grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died, and again in 1965 when his father, Oscar G. Mayer Sr., died. Mayer retired as chairman of the board in 1977 at age 62 soon after the company recorded its first $1 billion year.

SURFLINE CAMERAMAN TURNED AWAY AT THE GATE THIS MORNING!
The surfline cameraman was told he could not cut the line this morning so he could go in and video tape San Onofre for their Surfline surf report. He had earlier in the week talked the guard
into letting him in before anyone else making her think he was doing a great service for the Beach and the State Park service. He didn't tell her he was payed by Surfline for the video and did no service for San Onofre at all.

Newest Surf Product from EmEx
Prototype test rider Joe heading for the surf to demo the new EmEx leash.
Notice how the leash stays tangle-free!
As seen here, the leash floats effortlessly behind the rider and stays out of his way. The guys outside wanted to buy one after watching Joe's demo.

Pay parking is coming to popular surf beach
State announces it will charge $10 per car at Trestles lot at south end of San Clemente.
By FRED SWEGLES
The Orange County Register
5 Decades of free parking at one of America's premier surfing beaches, Trestles, is about to end.Because of California's budget crunch and state parks' efforts to raise revenue, San Onofre State Beach will soon begin charging cars $10 a day to park in Trestles' 84-space public lot at El Camino Real and Cristianitos Road."It could be (in) a couple of days. It could be a couple of weeks," said Rich Haydon, Orange Coast District parks superintendent."We have a lot of costs at San Onofre … we have to have some cost recovery there," Haydon said.Pay parking could take the form of an entry kiosk, an "iron ranger" collection device or, down the line, a pay machine, Haydon said.It's also possible that state parks may raise the day-use fee of $10 per car. Haydon said there has been talk of it but nothing definitive.Charging for parking in the lot could put a premium on free curbside parking spaces available nearby along Cristianitos Road, El Camino Real and San Clemente residential streets.El Camino Real has about 45 free spaces along the stretch in front of the Trestles lot. Cristianitos Road has about 15 free spaces next to the I-5 Freeway, plus an additional stretch of free parking inland, past a "no parking" zone.Years ago, San Clemente imposed a 2-hour limit on parking on residential streets near Trestles so surfers wouldn't take up the spaces all day when the surf was pumping.

A TRUE STORY
The Three Dwarfs: One day three midgets were sitting around the table drinking tea and having crumpets.The first midget says to the other two, "You know, I think I have the smallest hands in the world." He continues, "And I think I should go down the Guinness Book or World Records and try to get in the book!"The second midget replies with, "You know, now that you mention it, I probably have the smallest feet in the world. I think I'll go with you and try to get into the record book, too!"The third midget joins in with, "I'm going too because I think I have the smallest penis in the world. Let's go!"So the midgets set off to the offices of the Guinness Book of World Records. When they arrive, the first midget is called in and is gone for awhile. Finally he comes out very excited. "I made it! They measured my hands, and sure enough they are the smallest in the world. I'm in the record book!!"The second midget is called in, and soon he comes out very excited. "I made it too! They measured my feet and sure enough, they are the smallest in the world. I'm in the record book, too!!"The third midget goes in, is gone a very long time, so long that his friends became concerned. Finally he appears with a rather forlorn look on his face"What's the matter his friends asked. The third midget responds with "Who the hell is FATS FLANNIGHAN?!?!!"
