I forgot all about this until this morning. We were on the beach on Sunday afternoon, when the lifeguard jeep came rambling down the sand. Over the PA system, I hear the following statement, to be filed under "Only in California, and perhaps parts of Australia":
"ALL SWIMMERS WILL NEED TO IMMEDIATELY MOVE NORTH OF THE CHECKERED FLAG. SOUTH OF THE FLAG IS FOR SURFERS ONLY. SURFERS HAVE A VERY LIMITED AREA TO WORK WITH THIS TIME OF DAY."
Surfers' rights are tops round these parts, as you can see. They're treated like petulant artists, which, in a way, they are.
