Water from Aptos Creek cannot get out to the ocean. So it stagnates. It is dirty water that children play in.
Were this done by private persons they could be arrested for creating a public nuisance. How do you “arrest” the government!

In years past, California Parks and Recreation used to punch a hole through so the water could go to the sea. Now they have to get permission from Fish and Game. Preserving the salmon figures into the equation.

How about giving about 20 strong persons a shovel and FREE the water. Make the beach safe for small children. Allow everyone to use the beach without having to navigate a polluted lagoon?

Memorial Day weather?

Blue day tomorrow, Memorial Day at Aptos beach? Hope so. Nice day for a backyard barbacue? Hope so. Remember what Memorial Day is all about.

Remember to keep faith with those who died in Flanders Field, World War I.

“In Flanders field, the poppies blow…

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies blow
In Flanders Field.

A lot of young people have died to keep America safe and the world safe from terrorists. How best to keep faith with them?
