Saw some great vintage surfing shots and pictures of the Ellwood coast [where I live]. Check 'em out.... Life was sure a lot simpler then, especially for the oil industry. Ellwood was never as over-pumped as Summerland, though. In 1896, companies drilled in ocean waters from piers extending off the beach at Summerland.
Who said " ignorance can be healed...stupid is forever "?
Does seem relevant here.
I was driving when I saw the flash of a traffic camera. I figured that my picture had been taken for exceeding the limit even though I knew I was not speeding. Just to be sure, I went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.
Now I began to think this was quite funny, so I drove even slower as I passed the area once more, but the camera again flashed. I tried a fourth and fifth time with the same results and was now laughing as the camera flashed while I rolled by at a snail's pace.
Two weeks later, I got five tickets in the mail for $124 each for driving without a seat belt.
THE IRISH BROTHEL
Three Irishmen are sitting in the pub window seat,
watching the front door of the brothel over the road.
The local Methodist vicar appears, and quickly goes inside.
"Will you look at that?" says the first Irishman.
"And didn't I always say what a bunch of lying hypocrites they
are?"
No sooner are the words out of his mouth than a Rabbi also goes
inside.
"There's another bunch who try to fool everyone with their pious preaching and funny little hats," says the second Irishman.
They continue drinking their beer roundly condemning the vicar and the rabbi when they see their Catholic Priest knock on the door and go inside.
"Oh, how sad!" says the third Irishman.
"One of the girls must have died!"
