He's Still With Us

Yesterday, while driving in the City of Angels, I stopped at a light behind a Dodge van with a sticker on the right rear window that said "The Point San Onofre." A moment later, an old Volkswagen Camper pulled up next to it and the two men inside shouted at the driver of the Dodge van "There is no Point at SanO!" The driver waived back through his open window with that friendly one finger gesture oft seen in days gone by at San Onofre. I know that somewhere up high, Tubesteak smiled.

DON'T GO SURFING

Levels of bacteria rise significantly in ocean waters during and after rainstorms. Elevated levels of bacteria may continue for a period of up to 7 days depending upon the intensity of the rain and the volume of runoff. Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause someone to become ill or die. It is recommended that beach users avoid contact with ocean water for a period of 7 days after rainfall ends.

It's a privilege to be here in the USA, free to discuss and debate these issues, and others. As we celebrate our independence and the founding of our republic, I am mindful that this privilege is secured each day by men and women serving in our military.

I saw this picture of a U.S. Marine, from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, who was caught, without his helmet, by Taliban fire in Afghanistan on May 18, 2008. Obviously, he did not hesitate to stand up with the others in his squad and return fire. It reminded me of the sacrifices that those serving in our military make for all our citizens.

He was not hit and is okay.
