This was what I was met with on my morning walk along the beach at four doors, It was ghastly, and made me wonder what good the alcohol ban is having, if the scofflaws just party on after dark.

San-O Surfing Tip No. 87: Surf With Friends

Wherever possible, surf with as many friends as you can get to come with you. Some people think that it's best to surf with other learners (and spur each other on), some think it's better to surf with more experienced surfers so that you can learn from them. In either case you will learn from the other surfers, and increase the chances that there will be someone who can help you should things go wrong.

California State Parks Department has approved plans for what is billed as one of the largest underground parking garages in the U.S., which will hold some 5,000 vehicles on its San Onofre/Trestles State Beach. In a deal reached with The Toll Road agency, It's scheduled to be completed by mid-2010.
The state is digging for a solution to the parking crunch on its growing surfing demand, The State plans to excavate a giant pit for an underground parking garage with the capacity for some 5,000 vehicles.
That's nearly as many spots as Bolsa Chica And Santa Monica combined, and would make it one of the largest underground parking structures in the United States.
It will cover the equivalent of six downtown city blocks and go four stories deep.
The underground garage, on the west side of Interstate 5 near the Basilone exit, is scheduled to be completed by mid-2010.
Plans for the 3.1 million square feet are complete and approved, at a cost of roughly $1.3 billion construction will begin in Novenber of 2007
Parking at San Onofre has become such a hassle that the State and Southern California Edison, who operates A nearby power plant, agree, this will alleviate all the current problems associated with the now overloaded lot.
The new garage "will go a long way to helping out with that crunch that we feel," It will also provide a much improved Beach experience for those who seek out the cooler coast weather when the weather is hot inland. Currently," Would be Bathers are forced to endure long lines and waiting to use the beach, this will remedy that and provide for projected future growth of 41% by the year 2040" claimed " Gustavo Amaya, A Dept spokesperson.

The project involves more than just parking.
"When this is done, I think people will look to that area as the center of Orange County," Amaya said. "It's being designed and built that way," with open space, a plaza, and other architectural and artistic touches planned to make the area friendly to all beach goers.

Son Urinates on Michael Douglas Following Jellyfish Attack
Michael Douglas has quipped about his holiday jellyfish attack at San Onofre Surf Beach, Ca., insisting his son may need therapy after urinating on his back. The actor was vacationing with his family at their summer home when he suffered a nasty sting and pleaded with five-year-old son Dylan to alleviate the pain.
The star explains, "I took my kids down to the ocean the other day and we had a little problem - we have jellyfish. I got stung actually pretty bad, across my back just last week. There's sort of a remedy that we've all heard...urine. It's the remedy if you have a bad sting.
"So I asked my five-year-old son if he would pee-pee on my back. He looked at me like he'd gone to heaven. He was like 'This is what I call a good summer holiday! Pee-pee on daddy's back!' I don't know if it helped at all, but my son was happy. We'll work it out in 20 years (when he's in therapy)!"

Thought For The Day

Hello Out There

Prayer

Dear Lord,
So far today, God, I’ve done alright. I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper, I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or over indulgent. I’m very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, God, I’m going ot get out of bed, and from then on, I’m going to need a lot more help.
Amen.

See What Complaining Gets Ya

It was supposed to be a picture of an interesting pair (no pun intended) of tunnels from my vacation. Instead, she constantly gets in the way of what I’m trying to photograph. I tried complaining, but then she just starts taking her clothes off and laughing, like she did here. She even thinks its funny when she goes to pick up the prints at the Walmart.

Sorry For The Obstructions

I was trying to get some pictures of the clouds that were over San-O on Tuesday.

She always does this when I'm trying to get some pictures of cloud formations, mountain ranges, and, as I think about it, just about anything. If I complain, she starts taking off her clothes. I don't know what to do with her.

Caveman

If I were a large and powerful insurance company, I could make a commercial showcasing cavemen. I could make them barbaric and not very bright, and get away with it. Why?,they have been extinct for centuries.

I resent that. I still light a fire with flint, and I club my women over the head and drag them back to the cave by their hair.
I will be seeking advise on this matter from Sydney.

San-O Surfing Tip No. 84: Approaching Locals

.
When you paddle out into a new lineup for the first time, chances are good that you are paddling out into a group of people that have known each other for years. They will generally not be particularly happy to see a new face. They will have no idea if you have any manners or not, if you will be a wave hog, if you will go out of turn, etc. If you show up full of attitude, you can expect to be received as poorly as if you had just burst into a stranger's living room uninvited.
This is Joseph. He's a local I met at San-O. He's worked at the SONGS nuclear power plant for 12 years. He surfs straight out from the power plant's water outfall. At first he gave me the 1000 yard stare, but in time he came to accept me.

San-O Surfing Tip No. 83: Sunglasses

In 1998, a group of eye care professionals studied 438 San Onofre and Trestles surfers who had spent years in the water. The surfers who wore no eye protection while on the beach had three times as many cataracts - a clouding of the eye's natural lens - as those who wore sunglasses. Based on this study and others, eye care professionals recommend that surfers wear UV-absorbent sunglasses while on the beach, and many recommend sports sunglasses be worn in the water as well.

You should always buy sunglasses with 99% or 100% UV protection. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight is linked to eye disease. Both plastic and glass lenses absorb some UV light, but UV absorption can be improved by adding chemicals to the lens material during manufacturing or by applying special lens coatings. Some manufacturers' labels say "UV absorption up to 400nm." This is the same thing as 100% UV absorption.

San-O Surfing Tip No. 82: Preparing For The Walk To Trestles

.
Plan ahead.
There are no
food or drink
concession stands
at San-O or Trestles.
It's best to eat
something before
you take the long
walk to Trestles
to surf. The surf
at Trestles may
be to die for,
but you don't
want to die
of starvation
before you finish
the walk back.

Interesting pattern

Thank you Keep.

Beach Volleyball Spams The Globe

Looks like a volleyball game at San-O, except it's a Chinese player in the four day long Asian Beach Volleyball Tournament in Hyderabad, India. Hyderabad is located hundreds of miles from the ocean at more than seventeen hundred feet elevation. It has a fascinating history. It's sister city is Riverside, California.

Nazi U-Boat Photo Copyright?

It was one year ago today that I posted a picture of a Nazi U-Boat washed up at San-O to this blog. This morning I get an email from someone claiming to own the copyright to the photo. It’s unclear from the email if the guy in this photo is the writer or merely someone holding the framed photo for a picture. I don’t know whether to take the email seriously or if it’s intended as humor. The writer claims that he licences the photo out, but never sells it. He says that my posting it here a year ago violated his copyright. He includes a long explanation of the Copyright Act, Trademark laws, foreign treaties as concern copyrights (in case I am a foreigner, I guess - or maybe he is, I don’t know) and a formal demand for compensation. Any suggestions?
