  Musical Miscellany Pulp’s Common People remains brilliant and mordant. I’ve been listening to Elise Trouw’s Foo Fighters Meets 70’s Bobby Caldwell (Live Loop Mashup) on repeat for a while. It’s a peculiar kind of trance that taps into 70s easy listening. I’ve also gone back and reacquired unpublished Lola Blanc pop music. Her work on Angry Too...

  Minor post-session adventure. Surfer got hurt in the water, approached me, side of his head pouring blood. Walked out of the water. Tourist gave up his shirt to use to stanch the blood. I carried the bloody board and we walked to the @lifeguardsofsandiego main lifeguard tower. As always lifeguards were professional and got the fella bandaged up quick and the guy called his wife with his watch.

  In 2009 I could use Twitter in Lynx. Can I do that in 2024? No. I am directed to the Help Center: Supported Browsers page. Here’s a screenshot of when I was able to tweet with Lynx in 2009. And the tweet I tweeted. Do you know what Lynx is? (from 2019)

  Surf Sucks: Time For Misc Ugh. Surf report for south San Diego is dismal this morning: It’s a total mess out there this morning as potent storm front continues to blow through the area. A new and strong WNW swell has moved into our areas and is overriding what ever swell activity is out there. Shoulder to overhead sets are...
