Ruff Riders

Even dogs are embarrassed by their parents.

Woah! Is that a vintage Jack Russell? 

Great find today sir.

Their empty nest was filled by a Pomeranian and the removal of his balls.

In All Fairness

The OC fair came and went like the deep v-neck craze of '09.

The deep fried armpit of Orange County.

The new babysitting pond next to the beer garden.

"I'm gonna need a leash for next year."

United We Stand, Divided We Reenact

Last Labor day weekend Union and Confederate camps popped up in Huntington Beach.

 Tiaras and chihuahuas were traded in for bonnets and parasols.

The bird nerds didn't seem to notice anything different going on.

"Oh god, a yellow-bellied warbler!"

We showed up late on the last day of the reenactment so people were quick to strip from their burlap garb.

"Now that the war is over I can wipe my ass with some comfy 1 ply."

Sticks and stones may break my bones but a musket will kill me.

Lincoln was a sport and posed for photos.

"Stand back! That man is wielding the devils rectangle!"

We salute you for the photo sir.

"Now if I can only remember where I parked...

Has anyone seen my Lincoln town-car?"

More like civil bore....

Samuel L. "Stonewall" Jackson

Whatever vs. YOLO

In the jingle jangle morning this guy will come follow you.

If Jimmy Page were a Shovelnose Guitar fish he would be a double necked Shovelnose Guitar fish.

Before you figure out new technology, it has already figured you out and mocks you.

Beneath the bars in search of bars.

Curl up with a book...

...not a cellphone.

The brochure told me so...

 Billy Hearst's chill pad.

Ashley and San Simeon.
"This land is your land, this land is my land ...not really."

The Roman pool. 

Please keep your hands inside your pockets while inside the pool.

 Jelly cellys.

 Ocean Sun Fish (Mola Mola) 

This guy was a total ham for the camera.

Cayucos

Central California gold.

"Try me bro"

"Dont chu be look'n at my boi"

"Oh dip!"

Waves on waves.

There is an awesome ramp in the parking lot at this pier.

Morro Bay, CA

Ashley backs it.

Online and off the grid.

Localism is alive and well.

Arm candy of Newport Beach.

Wipe the crust from your eyes.

Seek out adventure...

...or just chill seek.

Tokens for tickets with a machine middle man.

Music to your ears, Silence to your eyes

DIIV at the Constellation room at the Observatory OC. 

Pretty dreamy stuff.

This dude was wearing a Bob Dylan Desire shirt that I was coveting.

The flowy linen pants and ankle boots not so much...

White Fence played a free show during the US Open in Huntington Beach which was rad. 

They performed before some hot surf movie premiere so half of the toe headed flip floppers in the audience didn't know who they where.

Bleached played after DIIV at the Constellation room. 

They opened with a Ramones song and ended with a Misfits cover, rad chicks!

Season of the Sand

Old eyes look at young thighs.

Sand shark...no its a Shovelnose Guitarfish.

Monkey see Monkey do.

To serve and auto-correct.

Dolly trolly.

Much to Ashley's chagrin I always have to take a walk on the pier when I'm at the beach...

..and sometimes I come across muscly little ponies like this.

"Wanna hang out and not talk?"

"k"

Skeletoes on the nose.

 Just a guess but it think that's dog shit in that bag.

Rule #1: If you want to catch a buzz at the beach watch out for the fuzz.

"Do I look blazed?"
