equinox sunday at wind an sea

Some shots from this afternoon at Wind an Sea beach. There were a slew of bodysurfers abusing themselves. For bodysurfing this is a "Whomper" break; You catch a wave for 5 seconds and get slammed into the beach. These guys just kept going. I went out earlier in the morning and the waves were about 3-4 feet - really excellent - a lot of good rides.

instruments of fear

I have been away for awhile. At least away from blogging. Not because there has been a dearth of things to write about but I for some reason have been reluctant to write. An article in the NYT this morning got my attention. US sales of advanced weaponry abroad has skyrocketed in the last couple of years. There seems no end to the stupidity of the Bush Administration. In the text of the article is a comment from a defense dept spokesman something to the effect that we, "Are not gunrunners" but that these sales are a necessity to ensure "order in the world". This is insane. The Tao rightly says that, "weapons are instruments of fear". This makes my country probably the most massive purveyor of fear that the world has ever seen. So disappointed, ashamed, angry and feeling lost. What can a man do to stop this?
