SUMMER on Lake Monterey Bay

Greetings Earth Healers Summer Dawgs!

Reporting from Monterey Bay on this bakin', hot summer day.  The last day of June 2007.  Did you catch that moon last night?!  Luna Bella! 

We're suffering a terrible wave draught here in Santa Cruz.  The kelp has grown back with a vengence.  When we do get back in, it'll be putting the breaks on our rides, something fierce.  Somebody ... pahleese... turn on the wave machine!!!

Wave draught aside ... I have good news report!  The Capitola City Council found it in their hearts to  pass  an ordinance prohibiting  area  restaurants from packaging food in polystyrene and plastic containers.   One of  our very own Earth Healers  (moi... thankahverramuch), joined dozens of citizens and the Surfrider Foundation in speaking before the  Council begging them to uphold an earlier ruling-- and , what is only the most intuitively obvious thing to do.  The restaurants are not happy.  Seems they feel  it is too cost  prohibitive .  Hmmm... I  guess we have different ideas of the real expense here on the coast.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  My Radiance has really helped me keep the energy going.  Looking forward to an extensive backpacking trip in the High Sierra's this summer.  I'll really rely on it then.
