SPECIAL TO SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE
VULTURES CIRCLING OVER BIGKOOK'S FORMER BAMBOO FOREST
especially on Sunday morning is not a good omen. After all the
tragedies in recent months one could but surmise why vultures,
unless another gruesome death, like, but whom? Maybe it's the death of Beach San Onofre". BIGKOOK wandered aimlessly down
the "primitive dirt road" talking to anyone who'd listen, but
no takers. We drove by, almost making it, but he stopped us.
"Don't go down there, you're not going to believe it," he
warned. Down there being Al Gee's enclave where screaming kids,
barking black Labs, and clingers looking as if they just
disembarked from the "Ship of Fools". After attending beaches
for years I've never witnessed anything like 'Nofre yesterday.
I looked at "Officer Bob" saying, this is not surfing by any
stretch of the imagination, for sure. I recall Tubesteak as a
boy going to a carnival in Montebello CA and witnessed a
swarm of hideous geeks. San Onofre brings back that gawd
awful nightmare, for sure. Cars parked helter-skelter,
ungodly street gear, never before seen hordes of bamboo
pulling, reckless, screaming, unruly brats, left like
tethered dogs who growl and bark when "master" goes for
his surf. Basura, people wearing Ugg Boots", horsehoe
tournaments, Haw'n Gardens parking problems, I wanted to tell
the SOSC BOD to install a sign saying, pack it in, pack it
out. Well, it was just awful, for sure. But, as usual,
BIGKOOK was right, "Don't go down there." Poor 'Nofre is
beginning to look just like the proverbial "Elephant's
Graveyard", for sure.
