A scowish surf aspect...

LAPD vies with NYPD in the hearts and minds sweepstakes, confessions of a child janitor, and since we were speaking of hearts and minds, a little something to leaven the holiday season...

I've always felt that the Mini-Simmons surfboard was, just maybe, the perfect board for a cruising sailor...

A board way ahead of it's time in the 50's and currently having something of a well deserved comeback. It seems there are Mini-Simmons boards everywhere these days...



It has not escaped my notice that the Simmons boards have a certain "scowish" aspect and just today one of my favorite surf sites, Hydrodynamica, did a post with an evolved Simmons called the Golden Mean Machine...



Sure looks like a scow to me...

Listening to R.E.M.

So it goes...
