Tsunami Saturday Laguna Beach!
Well, the Orange County Tea Party Patriots had an event scheduled yesterday in Laguna Beach, but it was cancelled due to weather conditions and tsunami warnings. I left the Temecula rally a little after Noon hoping to catch the tail end of the Laguna rally. I texted my good friend Megan and got word the event had been cancelled. I thought I'd hang out a little bit anyway. Walking down the boardwalk, tourists check out the surf conditions at the main beach lifeguard station:

You need to see if that newsstand carries The Weekly Standard!!
Donald -- thanks for the memories. One of my first jobs was as an usher at the South Coast movie theater in Laguna that is now showing "Hurt Locker"...I worked there in 1981 and the summer of 1982 when "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" was a hit. It was a lot of fun!
I used to live off of the canyon during the time when the Brotherhood discovered just exactly how much real money, the kind you could spend on 911 SCs as opposed to money in good vibrations, and what was once sort of a tourist town is just that now. And with a political orthodoxy that seems at odds with $1-2 million bungalows. But the military poster and book store is still there and still some legitimate surf shops. As to the rest...!
I also became friendly with the police chief who became world famous for arresting Timothy Leary who for a change had his clothes on. The lifeguard shack on the beach is a reconstruction as the old one, part of a gas station, got washed along with the Main Beach out to sea one winter.
