Does no one think about the surfers?
The weather is, currently, cold and windy across Southern California making for lousy, choppy surf though those in Orange and Los Angeles Counties may be counting that lack as their only blessing as those beaches are shut for the second time in less than two months after a major sewage spill.
Authorities are blaming a blocked sewer line at a restaurant in Newport Bay, according to The Los Angeles Times, which spewed at least 50,000 of untreated poos and pees into the ocean water.
Beaches are currently closed to swimming, surfing, diving, and I’d imagine wading as various agencies begin testing the brine.
Gross but how many more spills will it take for the area’s swimmers, surfers, divers and waders to demand account for this nastiness?
Whose fault is it?
Gov. Gavin Newsom?
A fine enough place to begin.

Literally a crock of shit… a SMALL crock. If you care, there’s a MUCH bigger on-going (for years), ecological disaster in Imperial Beach from constant pollution from Tijuana that has impacted surfers, surfing, and a world class surfspot with MILLIONS of gallons of sewage almost constantly. Oh, well, very far south of the glamor of “surf city”. Out of sight, out of mind.
Gross. How many millions of poopies get flushed in SoCal everyday? Does Joel Tudor poop everyday?

I pity the fools that never got to enjoy a Snugy Mary.
I wouldn’t count Newsome interested if I were you. Today he met with Biden to talk green. Maybe they did talk about green brown poopie waters, who knows.
I can assure you though that both hope to be as courageous as Vladimir Poutine in the Great White North in the fight to crush freedom.
