    What storm hundreds of miles to the south? The weather map doesn’t show it.

    My son, is on a bachelor party cruise. He sent me a text telling me they were told their boat is going to dock in San Diego, and they will have to be bussed to Long Beach.

    I forgot to mention Hal Blaine played some mean drums on that track along with a young Glen Campbell on guitar.

    I surfed as a kid. Fifteen footers would have had me out in the breaks.
But now I realize what a fool I was...sharks could killed me in one bite.
I have reformed...I am repentant.
I have devoted my life to the Lord!
I am still an idiot...but I am His idiot now.

    I wish I knew how to add a small video. I would show the 100000 foot wave from “Deep Impact”. I have a phobia and that scene haunts me!!!

    That was an awesome scene, wasn’t it?
There is a similar wave in the book “Lucifer’s Hammer” and there is a surfer on that one!
