My hood went nuts. Fireworks were lit off. Horns were blared. People came out of thier houses and into the streets. Neighbors hugged each other.
Never experienced anything like it.
Its the coldest wettest day yet this fall, but it might as well be the 1st day of spring after a long and bitter PNW winter.
And looks like several of the coastal counties voted in favor of Barack.

I went to a resteraunt a while back advertising, "new ownership" and, "the best clam chowder on the coast". It's a Beautiful resteraunt-in a beautiful location-cranberry fields, a large working waterwheel.
It was during the day, during the week, no one was in sight, so I sat myself down at a booth. After several minutes, an obviously, "refined" gentleman reluctantly came and took my order. I told him I would have the clam chowder and the shrimp salad, "to go". Even though I was the only one in the, "restaraunt" he informed me I could not wait for my order in a booth as, "the booths were for dining customers only" He instructed me to wait for my order on the wood bench in the waiting room. Maybe, he did not like the, "cut" of my work clothes-to brutish for the likes of him, possibly?
My order was finished, so I went to pay, I was quite surprised when I was overchaged three dollars. Oh well, I gave the frajile flower a three dollar tip anyway- the deceptive tartar made out like a bandit. Whatever, I thought, "the food is what matters", and boy.....was I right.....
I was surprised, upon opening the chowder to discover a 1/4 thick layer of red oil on its surface. Oh well, I thought, "something different, something new". It had to be good-I mean it was advertised as, "the best chowder on the coast"???? I took a taste, spat it out, and choked in disgust.
The shrimp salad was interesting. It looked and tasted like week old safeway salad on clearance-old bagged salad-shrimp only in appearance.
Strangely enough, I went back another time, only because the excellent place down the street was closed. The burger I ordered looked fancy, but was tasteless-an obvious metaphor for the resteraunt-fancy and tasteless, and again, I was over-charged- three dollars- but this time by a woman. A woman who asked with a sneer, "what do you do for a living?" Again, I gave her a tip. Don't ask why.
If they stick around long enough, they may learn: those in the trades often have better mathmatical aptidude than those in the more, "refined arts." More than once, while visiting this establishment, was I reminded of an old saying, "don't judge a book by its cover, the clam chowder actually tastes like shite".
I have to give credit where credit is due though. The fries were good. The best I have ever had, actually.

Last night Looking at the surfer's journal, my 6 y.o. daughter climbs over and starts to check it out. so I narrate some of the sequence shots and we start to trace the surfer trajectory on the wavs with a finger over the pictures of waves. Complete with sound effects, airs, tubes, wipeouts and hoots.
she stops, says, "wait a minute," turns back a couple of pages (Jamie Sterling pgs.78 and 79) and says, "Daddy, can you tell me about the bottom turn again."
Killed me.

Santa Cruz roadie this week. A couple of nights in hostels at Pt. Montara and Pigeon point, a night in the croix, and a final night visiting a surf bro from way back who lives in half moon bay. The surf looks to be tits up and I love that California getaway feeling....not sure I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight....
