  This reminds me of a story told Grouch Marx about when he was at the pool of a country club and was inform that Jews weren't allowed in the pool. He asked if his daughter could go in up to her waist seeing as she was only half Jewish.

  I remember when I was in the eighth grade and learned that in the South black people weren't allow to drink out of the same drinking fountains as whites. I had trouble believing it wasn't just a fabrication. I mean how could a whole section of the country be that mean and stupid. I guess the stupidity lives on in people like this woman.

  Remember the Rip Tides that would take you through the Pier and you'd end up by the Cliffs.

  Yes, I remember going in the water at Beach Blvd and being sucked through the pier and not being able to get out till close to Golden West.

  On days like that you can see the side current moving north from your car. I trianglulate to keep my postition but I get lazy and give up and let it deposit me where it likes which is often a mile or so from where I started. I think that condition usually occures during big south swells. A few years ago I got sucked in to Ray Bay at Seal Beach. I didn't want to wind up on the Long Beach side of the jetty and have to walk back along PCH so I got off my board and tried walking thru the shallow water that was less than waste high. It must have taken me 15 min or more to travel 40 or so feet back to the jetty the water was flowing so fast. It made me realize how someone can drown in a foot or two of fast moving water.

  i am a fan of anything wts hates, like smurfs and birthdays, clinking glasses in a toast, exchanging gifts on december 25th.

  i have never really been the person to set new year's resolutions, but it is something wts would not like.. anyway, i used to read blondie's comments on the wt study article.

  i remember how it kept me mad at wts to read such stupid stuff from them.

  I know what you are saying. I very rarely if ever read anything by the WT. All it does is piss me off. I've read maybe two or three articles in the last ten years. I can hardly look at the damned things. My wife and her family are all JWs so I'm stuck with a certain amount of WT BS in my life no matter what. But read the crap...I don't dont think so.

  I'll send you a PM.

  I'm interested. Love to attend some Surfrider events again. Hopefully I can fit something into my work schedule. Let me know which ones you are planning on going to. Like I mentioned I was heavily involved in the Newport Beach Chapter for about 5 years and kinda miss the events. The craziest one we did was a beer tasting in Newport with the Malibu Chapter. Things went awry early on. Not the same crowd as you would get at a wine tasting.

  Summer of 1965, Huntington Beach California, Beach towel laid out south side of the Pier and on comes 'Like a Rollin Stone'.

  I remember that time period pretty well. As kids my friends and I would hitchhike to HB. Who knows I may been on the beach with you. We would have been some of those really obnoxious kids a few years younger checking out your girlfriends.

  I don't know if you remember the market on Main St that sold the loaves hot bread with olive oil and seasoning. I think it cost a quarter. I'm still trying to remember the surf shops at that time. I remember Greek, Jacks and I think Chuck Dent.

  By the way it was nice meeting you the other day. We should do it again soon.

  My love of Dylan goes back to my pre-jw days. Over the years I've had Dylan records and cassettes, CD and DVDs. Recently I purchase Bob Dylans Greatest hits volume III and a DVD about his life. What a character. I don't know if you saw the episode of "Pawn Stars" where Chumlee went looking around Las Vegas to have him sign an Album for him but it was very funny. Dylan must like the show or he wouldn't have agreed to be on it. He hosts a show on Sirius Satalite radio I listen to when ever I can.

  If I heeded his advise I may have been able to avoid listening to the Watchotower" Don’t follow leaders
  Watch the parkin’ meters"

  Subterranean Homesick Blues

  Johnny’s in the basement
  Mixing up the medicine
  I’m on the pavement
  Thinking about the government
  The man in the trench coat
  Badge out, laid off
  Says he’s got a bad cough
  Wants to get it paid off
  Look out kid
  It’s somethin’ you did
  God knows when
  But you’re doin’ it again
  You better duck down the alley way
  Lookin’ for a new friend
  The man in the coon-skin cap
  By the big pen
  Wants eleven dollar bills
  You only got ten

  Maggie comes fleet foot
  Face full of black soot
  Talkin’ that the heat put
  Plants in the bed but
  The phone’s tapped anyway
  Maggie says that many say
  They must bust in early May
  Orders from the D.A.
  Look out kid
  Don’t matter what you did
  Walk on your tiptoes
  Don’t try “No-Doz”
  Better stay away from those
  That carry around a fire hose
  Keep a clean nose
  Watch the plain clothes
  You don’t need a weatherman
  To know which way the wind blows

  Get sick, get well
  Hang around a ink well
  Ring bell, hard to tell
  If anything is goin’ to sell
  Try hard, get barred
  Get back, write braille
  Get jailed, jump bail
  Join the army, if you fail
  Look out kid
  You’re gonna get hit
  But users, cheaters
  Six-time losers
  Hang around the theaters
  Girl by the whirlpool
  Lookin’ for a new fool
  Don’t follow leaders
  Watch the parkin’ meters

  Ah get born, keep warm
  Short pants, romance, learn to dance
  Get dressed, get blessed
  Try to be a success
  Please her, please him, buy gifts
  Don’t steal, don’t lift
  Twenty years of schoolin’
  And they put you on the day shift
  Look out kid
  They keep it all hid
  Better jump down a manhole
  Light yourself a candle
  Don’t wear sandals
  Try to avoid the scandals
  Don’t wanna be a bum
  You better chew gum
  The pump don’t work
  ’Cause the vandals took the handles
