• Corky: Schooling others about the stoke of surfing

  15-06-2024 17:24 via ocregister.com
  
  These days there are many surfing schools strewn up and down the coast of California and just about everyplace else that has any sort of wave to ride.
  I always say that if there is a wave and a beach, the two things you are sure to find would be Boogie boards and surf schools.  Boogie boards have been around for well over 50 years now, thank you Tom Morey.  But actual surf schools were not all that common even 30 years ago.

  “Hypocrisy,” said a French aristocrat back in the 1600s, “is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.”
  The “tributes” are pouring in from Democratic political leaders in California. They pose as defenders of democracy while they work full-time to destroy it.
  Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders are trying to assassinate three initiatives that the people of California put on the ballot using the powers of direct democracy. They are attacking two initiatives t

Not only are we introduced to plants that don’t grow in our climate, but we also see familiar plants in a new light when we find them thriving in locations where the conditions for growth are so much different from our own.

  Revenge travel is losing its appeal.
  After three years of rushing to book trips in the wake of pandemic-era restrictions, sharply higher fares, protests against tourism, fatigue from endless hours spent in airports and incomes squeezed by inflation are all taking their toll on travelers.
  Travel demand is far from falling off a cliff. But there are signs that our wanderlust is downshifting from never-ending to a more normal pattern.

  Q. Is there a secret to pruning lavender? Every time I try to cut it back it ends up dying!
  Lavender is a tough plant and will grow exceptionally well in the hot, dry inland areas. Sometimes a little too well. I’ve had some lavender plants grow to be 6 feet across. Unfortunately, when it gets that big it will sometimes look kind of rangy. The top part may be covered with flower spikes, but the bottom part will show a lot of bare wood and become unattractive. The temptation is to cut the wh

  A slice of the nearly $29 million that Boulder collected during the first six and a half years of a voter-passed soda tax has provided low-income residents with extra money to buy fresh produce from local businesses.
