Here are some informal
comments and disconnected thoughts on surfing and other
miscellany.
For now, this page has devolved into a kind of surf-session
journal.
In the mood for
some surfing trivia?

October 15, 2006 (Sun) - 23:45. Earthquake Day. Definitely some excitement around here this morning at around 7:10. Was awakened by shaking and rumbling. Strong tremor with one perceptible aftershock. Turn on the TV to watch the news, then a few minutes later no electricity. Wasn't until 8:30 tonight that we got our power restored. Kind of a "wake-up call." For instance, the only battery-powered radio we had was the one built into an ultra-compact MP3 player. After that loses power, we wouldn't have any other way to get broadcast news/information. No canned food or bottled water on-hand. Flashlights with fresh batteries? Yes. Candles? Yes. But that's it. We'll need to stash some water and non-perishable foodstuffs and one of those hand-crank radios. Waited until 1:00, then headed to the beach for a two-and-a-half-hour surf session in totally crappy onshore mush. Lots of people out trying to find a diversion from, and alternative to, the complete unavailability of all forms of electronic entertainment. What do you do when you can't use the computer or watch TV? Read? Oh, puhleeez.
Anyway, start reading the blog because posts here will be very infrequent, if at all. See ya.
