San-O Surfing Tip No. 88: Swim Suits
Select a swimsuit that you're comfortable in. It’s important that your legs can move freely. Board shorts are cut baggy to allow freedom of movement. However, any suit that lets you bend, crouch, twist, and in particular, get up from paddling without restricting your legs or any personal parts you might want to keep, will do.

Our Seal Beach Surf Guide
This was our tour guide for our Seal Beach photo excursion.
He has a long association with surfing in Southern California. He seemed reliable and quite knowledgeable about the local history, though he actually spent most of his youth surfing at Malibu. He had lots of pictures from the Gidget movies and T.V. series, upon which he says he served as one of the technical consultants and a body double. In this black & white publicity picture, his body was used (that's him on the right) and the actor's head airbrushed over his.
He also was a founding member of the Beach Boys, but like Pete Best with the Beatles, he was dumped by the other members early on. Now, if you can't rely on a guide like this to give you the scoop on which surf break is which, I don't know what the world has come to. He was very careful about answering our questions, appearing to be deep in thought for maybe 20 seconds each time before answering. He was obviously recalling memories with great care in order to give us the most accurate information.
He has asked us not to reveal his name or current location because he is a member of Project Chanology, but he also says he knows Tubesteak personally and posts regularly on his blog.

LEGOLAND HOTEL AND PARK PROPOSED AT SAN MATEO BASIN
Talega residents celebrating new development at Trestles
AP SAN CLEMENTE CALIFONIA
Dahl Develoment Corp, Diane Harkey, And the San Clemente Ocean Trust based in Talega has reached an agreement with the State Park Agency to proceed with plans to build a 564 room hotel and golf course along what would have been the 241 toll road extension. In an interview with Orange County Register reporter Curren Swadasal, Harkey was quoted as saying " If it's good enough for our Talega residents , then it should be good enough for everyone else" The project has escaped public scrutiny due to the recent toll road action by the coastal commission, which is uninvolved in the project due to jurisdictional restraints.

High Degree Of Certainty?
We have a reasonably high degree of certainty that are mission was accomplished. This was the statement issued by the Pentagon today.
Yet More Good Comes From Defeating The Toll Road
SAN ONOFRE, CA (Reuters) - Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the Transportation Corridor Agencies -- when the TCA actually lost before the Coastal Commission -- have ended up in the hands of poor Talegan children.
Dozens of shirts and caps, which had been manufactured in advance to celebrate the TCA’s expected victory before the CC, were handed over to children in the community of Talega.
TCA victory shirts and other garments are produced in advance so that TCA supporters can put them on to celebrate immediately after the final vote of agencies that must approve the Toll Roads. Garments from hearings when the TCA loses are obviously unwanted, so the TCA dumps them in Talega. There was similar disposal of the Patriots' Super Bowl 2008 victory apparel.

Fifty years of math 1957 to 2007
Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help.. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this?
Because the evolution in teaching math since the 1950's:
1. Teaching Math in 1950's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
2. Teaching math in the 1960's:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching math in the 1970's:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. his cost of production is $80.. Did he make a profit?
4.Teaching math in the 1980's:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching math in 1990's:
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok.)

TOXIC DUMP
WASHINGTON - Long before the public learned in late January that a damaged U.S. spy satellite carrying toxic fuel was going to crash to Earth at San Onofre Surfing Beach, the government secretly assembled a high-powered team of officials and scientists to study the feasibility of shooting it down with a missile.
The order to launch the crash program came Jan. 4, according to defense officials who described Friday how it came to fruition for a final go-ahead decision by President George W. Bush this week. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the work.
The initial order was twofold: Assess whether shooting down the satellite with a missile was even possible, and at the same time urgently piece together the technological tools it would take to succeed.

Drugs Found at San Onofre
Cocaine washed up on San Onofre State Beach
Feb 13 2008 Associated Press (AP)
COCAINE with an estimated street value of $2.4 million dollars has been found washed up on a beach in southern california it emerged yesterday.
It is the second time in a week that a massive package of drugs has been discovered on a state beach.
It follows last Thursday’s discovery of an estimated $2,000.000.00 worth of cocaine washed up in Doheny State beach near the mouth of San Juan Creek. Similar packages were washed up on Poche beach, also in San Clemente, on the same day.
It has been suggested the water tight packages may have drifted across the Pacific Ocean from Mexico, propelled by winds.
State Parks Vice squad Sgt. Dairywhimple said last night that a good samaritan known only as "dingo" alerted the authorities after finding the package at San Onofre Beach.
But Detective Superintendent Peter Chalinor of San Onofre Vice, said he believed the drugs were destined for Bathroom Number Four.
“This is a substantial amount of Class A drugs that no doubt was on its way to the people who use it,” he said.
“ We have launched an operation to identify how these drugs ended up on the California Coast.
“If members of the public find any suspicious packages or parcels washed up on the shoreline they should contact police or customs officers immediately.”
The large package of cocaine was discovered At 6:00 Am Wednesday
Dairywhimple said the package, which was carefully sealed, contained smaller packages inside.
In Newport Beach nearly 30 bars of the drug were found on Thursday by marine biologists who were dolphin spotting in Cameo Cove as part of a research project.
Pete Turner, a senior detection officer for O.C.S.D.said, “the Sherriffs office continues to play a key role in the fight to stop drugs entering the US and to reduce the harm they do to our communities.
“We aim to protect society from the violence and corruption that always accompanies the trade in illegal drugs and in line with the US government’s strategy, we work with our partners at home and abroad to reduce the availability of Class A drugs on our streets.”
All the packages were last night being forensically examined.
Officers said the type of packaging and the way in which it had been wrapped could provide clues of its origin.

Toll Road victory Party
Late at the gate
What happened this Sunday at the gate was a real pisser! The line of cars waiting to go in was very large due to the great weather and some decent surf. The gate was not opened until 6:20, and the Ranger on duty drove right down Basilone road at 6:10 after leaving the gate at the Bluffs camp ground and had to have seen the line at Nofre and that the gate was not open and should have made an effort to come over and find out why! The young woman at the kiosk said she had to wait for the Ranger to come and open the gate. Ranger dispatch was called at 6:10 and told the Mayor the Ranger was on the way to open and thats when the Ranger was seen driving down Basilone road and leaving the area. Finally the woman took it upon herself to open the gate at 6:20. (after some engine reving and horn honking) Could it be the state parks service is going to shut down San Onofre and could care less about the daily use permit holders and paying guests? The sign says 6 am to 8 pm, not "we'll open when we're dam good and ready"!
