Follow above link to letter.
During the past couple of weeks, a carnival has been set up along our town's boardwalk and downtown area. It annoys the crap out of me. It's tacky, gaudy, loud, and shitty looking. I'm so fired up about it that I wrote a letter to our local paper. There are already a couple of responses to it, mostly telling me to go back to California. I'm going to make it my pet issue until the carnies leave town. I want to prove to myself that the written word can make a change. I'm going to take a stab at investigative journalism and raise some hell in this little beach town. I'm almost positive that some movers and shakers in this town pushed the carnival's approval through the town council in order to make a private buck. The Freedom of Information Act is my friend! I'll post all of my writings here.
I've been spending non-stop time out at the beach working. I teach surf lessons, give kayak tours, occasional jet ski trips, and set up beach umbrellas. I'm basically a beach bum. I spent ten hours out there yesterday. Four of which were spent teaching people to surf. It's a great skill to teach someone. It opens up a whole new world, it may even change your life...Like maybe cause you to leave your home and move all around the country looking for a perfect little beach town with good culture and great waves....
