Pacifica Bummer Fool

It looks like Loki or Kokopelli got hold of the former Pacifica Lumber building (now for sale). In the great tradition of comic fools commenting on the economic and political follies of their "lords," some (perhaps Occupy Pacifica?) mischief maker appears to comment on the state of the economy in Pacifica in typical and appropriate surfer slang (above).

Opinion: Not One of Pacifica's Finest's Finer Moments

Don't honk in Pacifica! I got stopped by the police for honking to let a woman (above and below) on the Linda Mar median strip who had a sign asking for kindness know that I had come back with some food and clothes. I knew the police were there, which is why I honked a couple of short taps, because I didn't want to drive up there and park in the street. She had been standing in the median that meets with Highway 1 for at least a half-hour, but it wasn't until I gave her four bags of stuff and walked away that the police rolled up to her, lights on, just as they had done to me. Why? Why do we pay them so much money to harass us? We need to outsource the Pacifica police. When I gig at a local bar, five to seven police often come through the place, testosterone blazing. I play the French horn in a rock band. What are they thinking? There's no one under 30 there.
