This'n That ...

Who says the beach is laid back; nothin' much going on?  Not the denizens in our neck of the woods.

First of all - there should have been an all-points bulletin warning that due to the Fri. Sat. Sun. Beachlife Festival, you want to forget about going to the beach.  Parking! is the reason.  This three-day event featured various musicians...Saturday was Brian Wilson with Al Jardin and Blondie Chaplin.

Today Willie Nelson, Ziggy Marlowe, Grace Potter and the Blues Travelers.  Friday's paper pointed out the various Lyft and Uber stations.  Local mall parking was strictly monitored for crashers by simply posting security guards at all of the entrances to the parking lot."What is your business here?"
Today is also Cinco de Mayo and we will pop into our favorite local Mexican restaurant - Las Brisas for a Pacifico and to split a giant quesadilla.

Yesterday's irritation began with the sad discovery that of the three Gray horses I bet, two were jet black!

At the finish I was congratulating myself that Tacitis came in 4th.  (sigh)  But wait!  The winner Maximum Security has just been disqualified!  Moving me and Tacitis up to 3rd!   Too bad for Maximum Security - or rather the jockey who rode him - which is where blame does belong.

Richie offered me a tour of his composite container out in the backyard.  My cup runneth over...

Monday promises to be calm.  With quesadilla leftovers for lunch.  Peace will reign at the beach.
