First photo I've seen of Simon. He has something of a Jay Leno chin. And isn't that a big board he's riding? He's got to be a huge man, no? He looks up to the huge weight of governorshiip of CA, which must be one of the most difficult jobs in the USA. I don't know what Gray Davis looked like before becoming gov, but he looks pale, exhausted, sickly, beleaguered, and sickly now.

You must have caught him on a good day.

"Wild" Bill Simon confers with one of his aides/surf buds:

"But, Bill, it's kind of hairy out there...I...I mean, Will Rogers State Beach...that's Davis' point!"

"Davis don't surf!"

Bill Simon's old man (the former treasury secretary) was a topnotch surfer.

Like father like son, I suppose.
