I have an article in the current issue of SBC Surf magazine. In it I talk about starting a surf blog. I have done so. Click here to read South Island Surf.

Sunday PM

Working tonight, but felt the need to go to the beach anyhow. A beautiful, sunny, head high afternoon at 2nds. Took the taxi to the beach; will start work around 8 instead of 4: worth it for a good surf. Feeling self-critical and melancholy, but at least surfing is a glorious distraction and physical expression.

Surfed last Saturday, too, but neglected to make a post at SouthIsland Surf. It was a big day at 2nds. Didn't surf my best, but enjoyed the experience of sizeable waves.

Some people think it’s stupid that Rastas are allowed to get stoned, but how else are you going to convince yourself that God was a guy who waited until 1942 to outlaw slavery, lost his country to theItalians, ordered hundreds of civilian massacres, and somehow missed out on the fact that 50,000 of his subjects were starving to death before being deposed and buried under a toilet?

Yes, I still love reading the DO's and DONT's.

At 11:00PM on Friday night a turquoise late-model pickup avoided a police roadblock at Yates and Warf street by speeding the wrong way up Yates, dodging oncoming traffic and nearly striking this reporter's vehicle. The truck was last seen careening onto Langley street. A police cruiser gave pursuit, some thirty seconds later. It is presumed that the pickup escaped.
