Field trip for Daisy & @gwenthegoblin & my lovely and amazing dog expert @hellokellykuhl and me. We walked down to Scripps Pier and all got worn out. A fine evening.

Fin savers worked well on my new fins and I’m pretty stoked about it. Also there were waves.

Dropped off my ballot last night. Our peculiar, partially-democratic system is broken in a lot of ways, but I have to vote. Vote.

Two giant rides close to the Jetty make goofy smiles.

Making a date to have an incredible meal is a luxury for a holiday. Amazing privilege.

Came out of the water whistling the Hawaii 5-0 theme song. No shots from the water today: forgot the case. Used the hard fins: water too big for the new soft ones. Memorial Day is a peculiar holiday. The history is complicated. For “fun” you can look it up along with Decoration Day, Armed Forces Day, Armistice Day, & Veterans Day. I’m glad to have the day off but it’s certainly a holiday that gives me pause.

Some sessions, whoa. Clouds to clear. Sunny and not. Lost my fin, found an orange toy shovel. Got my fin back through the kindness of strangers; gave the toy shovel away. Yesterday posted a photo of a stingray in the water. This morning sighted this unfortunate soul washed up. What a morning!

Stingray in the water minding their own business. Got this shot on video inadvertently. The fins I bought recently were great. Fine day.

New Bot Day! This nameless “Fembot” is from The Bionic Woman (1976-78). The tv show is a spinoff to similar series The Six Million Dollar Man. Lindsay Wagner stars as Jaime Sommers: a smart, beautiful, super-powered cyborg woman who goes on mission for government agency OSI. Fembots are the creation of the evil Dr. Franklin, who once worked for OSI. Jaime defeated many Fembots over the course of the series. This one has had “her” face ripped off, exposing the reality of her robot-ness!
I have no idea how many times I’ve walked through San Diego’s Santa Fe. Arriving and departing from L.A. as a kid, one time alone, when we lived in Echo Park and Alhambra; as a term, playing hooky; trips to Fullerton to see my pal Chris at ages 17 until now; trips to events: concerts by @stewtnp and the “Live from the Blogosphere” event where @evhead announced Blogger dot com was sold to Google; trips to and from Comic-Con; Little Tokyo; up to Moorpark when I lived there; walking though it many times when arriving by Coaster from Carlsbad where @leohblooms dropped me off, I worked at Emerald Plaza, then; picking up and dropping off more people than I can remember, traveling; once went to a plein air drawing event here; wandering downtown when I worked at the original @sdpubliclibrary Central Branch; and Avencom, and jury duty 2 years ago; which is why I’m here this morning.

Today work wiped me out. Almost didn’t come to the beach. But then I remembered. Take off, eh?

From mid 1990s, me in a scrub top with sharks on it and with the long hair and full beard I had for quite few years. Yes, gotta have sharks on a scrub top. I think this was when I was working at UVA.
