I’m on dinner break. I’m sifting through mounds of lost glasses and sunglasses. After month if no one claims them we place them in a special bag and the Lions Club picks them up.
Some good shit here. I’ve never been able to make myself take even those super Maui Jim’s.
Must reads for the weekend. Don’t know if I’ll be back.
Plundering the oceans I love my oceans for fishing and surfing. I’m big on not only saving the waves but saving the fish.
It’s well documented that many of the world’s major fisheries are in shocking decline. Some 90 percent of the world’s big fish, such as bluefin tuna, blue marlin and Antarctic cod, have almost disappeared from the oceans since the advent of industrial fishing in the 1950s, according to a groundbreaking paper published in Nature in 2003 by Myers and Worm. And by 2048 the world’s supply of seafood will likely simply run out, Worm and other marine biologists warned in the pages of Science in 2006. As of 2008, 80 percent of the world’s fish stocks were considered either vulnerable to collapse or already collapsed.
The Spider and the Fly, short but brilliant piece, and true.
I’ve been hanging with a girl who wants to be a mortician. I’m intrigued.
I’m no longer 23, it happened last week.
Cooper has snagged me into Infinite Jest. My kind of beast. I have two days off I started only today.
I’m in flux. Not sure what to do.
My grandfather is dying. That call could come any day or maybe not for a month.
No extra-strength Tylenol, Please.
single adults should lower the current 1,000 milligrams, or two extra-strength tablets, to the suggested 650 milligrams,or two regular strength tablets, and leave the extra-strength to prescription.
In fact, not only Tylenol, but also all over the counter drugs containing acetaminophen, a common ingredient in ache treatment, which has been a leading cause for liver injury for over 10 years, said FDA.

Alfred Lomax: the man who could be Liberia’s first professional surfer
Lomax is featured in Sliding Liberia, a film Wavescape calls …
This beautiful film has a profound message. Nothing is more important than loving one another. The languid grace of sublime longboarding in Liberia is a poignant counterpoint to the shattered wreckage of a brutalised nation on the shore – remnants of Charles Taylor’s savage reign. There is exquisite footage, beautiful free surfing using a range of styles on a variety of surfboards, and moody portraits of a proud people, dignity intact. A visit to Liberia by Dan Malloy, Chris Del Moro, and Crystal Thornburg at the behest of peace volunteer Nicholai Lidow becomes a quest for spiritual healing. The sensitive treatment is a thankful deviation from the normally brash American dominance. We meet Alfred Lomax, Liberia’s first surfer after finding a “sliding board” (bodyboard) while fleeing rebels. Besides rediscovering an epic surf spot, the surfers discover things more important. Soul. Love. Life. Check it.

I’m in nowhere land deciding whether I want to take on a restaurant/bar that was run in a very old what was 1800’s hotel, a place that has been closed for some time, still has a liquor license and not much else, reopen it, run it as a decent cut 60/40. It’s in no mans land, meaning it is three hours from the beach ad thee my or may not be a town somewhere around here.
I’ve had a nice run at the beach but my summer vacation is over. That’s what I think.
I saw this and thought I’d post it.
