The new wind vane at San Onofre. A magnificent sight to behold....














But once again, some idiot flew a kite into it.

ABC Television's new show "UGLY BETTY"

It seems ABC tv has stolen my blog charactor see .
The photo on the left is the real "Ugly Betty", and the photo on the right is ABC's!
Is there an Attorney in the house?

A multi-agency task force has been established and is now in effect to curb the molestation of dead marine life at San Onofre.

A whale washed up at the point yesterday. This guy found a new use for the blow hole.

This new state park maintenance employee may not be legal either.

It was his land once

The old timer who showed up at San Onofre may not be here legally.

This new state approved sign posted at the entrance to Surf Beach is directed to Talega women in those big SUV's.

Old Timer Comes Back to Surf San Onofre

. . . and he opposes the toll road.

Some poor guy spent 45 years building this thing in his back yard only to run aground on the sand bar during his maiden voyage.

Surfing BooBies for grumpy!

TAKING THE SOUL OUT OF SURFING

I just want to make sure I got this straight. Allowing the Marines to build officers housing on their land above Trestles would ruin the highly sensitive ecological zone that contains numerous endangered spieces. Letting the railroad repair it's Trestles after el nino rain damage would negatively impact a precious wetland and forever alter the reef. And the proposed toll road! The list of negative effects from that could go on forever. Maybe so. Why in the hell do many of the same people who speak of the above horrors either allow or find it ok to build a 3 story structure on the beach stretching for 100 yards? Have numerous trucks and shuttle busses running in and out of there all day long?. Allow tens of thousands of people, most star-struck lookie-loos to trample the area for a week? Have event parking signs on the freeway? Wait! I think I get it! It's ok this time because the State Parks, the surf industry, Surfrider, and numerous pros are making money! Hypocrites each and everyone of them. Anyone remember when Trestles was this wonderful hidden surf spot that you had to walk to and from? If you didn't carry it in it wasn't available? Thanks for turning it into Huntington Beach.

Sometimes cheap is expensive

I had some computer problems while I was at San Onofre. Some guys from Talega offered their tech services for only $10 an hour. Maybe I should have paid Puttzle the $25 an hour he wanted.

Is that you Anonymous?

There is something fishy going on around here.

The guy in the van was waiting in the holding line and managed to get a little too close to the cliff.

Radio Flyer

When I was young, my father worked at JPL and we lived in Pasadena. We had a great big back yard and my brother and I would play for hours on his Radio Flyer wagon. Often on Sundays, my father would take the family to Huntington Beach, but sometimes to San Onofre. It was very different then. We went in through a military gate. We used to picnic by a little creek with oak trees that was maybe 7 miles or so from the military gate. It was a very pretty area. Afterwards, if we had behaved, he would take us down to San Onofre and we could swim if the waves weren't too big. Sometimes we would get to stay until the sun set.

This gal just looked at San-O Daze on her laptop. She must have read something by Dr. Ralph, so to speak.

Anonymous Spear- Fisherman Drowns

A San Clemente diver shot a large grouper with a spear gun then apparently drowned when the fish sped into a hole, entangling the man in the line attached to the spear, investigators said Monday.

The 72-year-old man, whose name was Anonymous, was free-diving in about 25 feet of water off shore at S.O.N.G.S. Saturday and speared a Goliath Grouper Orange County Sheriff Bob said.

"It looks like the fish wrapped the line attached to the spear around the victim's wrist. The fish then went into the intake line at the nuclear plant, effectively pinning the man to the bottom of the ocean," Sheriff Bob said in a news release.

Police divers found the speared fish tightly wedged into the hole, with the man's body still tangled in the line, a sheriff's spokesperson said.

Goliath Grouper are the largest members of the sea bass family and can weigh hundreds of pounds.
