Ledgehog Day


PHOTO: RUNAWAY
On the East Coast they have this rat....uh, I mean groundhog, called "Punxstawaney Phil". He comes out of a hole in the ground this time of year - if Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of Winter (not sure what that is but they tell me its nothin' nice.....).
In Venice, we have a skaterat called "Punkawaney Willy" - he never sees his shadow, so it's always Summer. Who you gonna' believe - a groundhog or a skaterat?? There were a few East Coast rats around VB today, but Willy C. was casting no shadow on this ledge ollie transfer, so I guess that means we have 46 more weeks of Summer in Venice....

Sunsets & Seahorses


PHOTO: RUNAWAY
Every once in a while you get one of those pools that is so epic you just can't let it go:

"Sunsets" was in the neighborhood I grew up in - many years later I found it in foreclosure and rode it several times before it was renovated/repurposed - priceless indeed was the look on the faces of the Hispanic family who finally captured a piece of the American Dream and showed up on "move in" day,only to find a couple of gringos getting their own version of the "American Dream" on in their pool:

Shock, suprise, and anger finally turned into confusion - eventually they just asked us to move our car cuz' it was blocking the driveway....we congratulated them on their new homeowner status and disappeared down the road to El Torito for some cocktails....we returned a couple weeks later and were given permission to skate one more time before paranoia kicked in....I still think about this pool - even if I never get to ride it again, it is forever immortalized in this new graphic:
