Galapagos

Since my camera broke ...  some photos Patty took of her Galapagos trip doesn't seem to be in Christmas spirit but..BA HUMBUG.

BWT: I did manage to shoot a couple dozen pics of EPIC 8 to 10 foot surf at Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz late afternoon yesterday but part of the problem with the camera is it froze up. Can't download or do anything else with it.

GO FIGURE

"I dunno, it just feels like all the old guys in my town have it so figured out, while I'm constantly feeling conflicted and uneasy." Well, why didn't you try calling them first before booking an appointment with me for $150 an hour? Maybe they know something I don't. They obviously know something you don't.

CHRISTMAS IN MALIBU

I tried signing in to our other blog ( madcat and rico from puerto rico ) but all blog roads lead back to this one.

As we were driving along PCH in THE BOO... I can't stand that ultra hip name for Malibu. It drives me nuts as does people that say Santa Ana Winds. It's SANTANA WINDS and then there is SOCAL. That's like calling San Francisco "FRISCO".

But a 1963 red Corvette Stingray convertible with Santa at the helm driving along side us for 10 miles during the clear crisp GOLDEN HOUR thru Malibu was a highlight.

ON THE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS
