If you're a sucker for bagpipe pictures, go
here. I uploaded five pictures from the Winter concert.
Other local news: the big wave season has started and several insane surfers are walking around with special pagers waiting to be taken by helicopter to the water off the coast kind of to the north of here -- "Mavericks." It's an international surfing competition that takes place in 3 or maybe 4 places -- Mavericks, some place in Hawaii, a place in Baja California, and maybe one in Australia? Some of the world's best surfers are tapped to compete for a big prize each year, and part of the deal is riding the biggest waves of the year.
Less local observation: if you're ever involved with a capital case in California -- that is, if you're ever accused of murder -- cry a lot. The reason the jury in the Scott Peterson case decided to kill him before the trial was even over was because "he showed no emotion." Just remember that, okay? (Of course Scott Peterson is scum of the earth, a sociopath, a piece of work, but that's not why he's been sentenced to a life in prison waiting to be killed -- hardly any of the death row guys actually get executed -- it's because he didn't cry at the trial)
Oh, and yesterday? Yesterday I was professional. I mailed a story to Polyphony 5 -- "Dog in the City," which therefore is not going on the website like I thought it was six months ago.
I'm planning on being very professional, at least intermittently.
