Lamborghini Crash on PCH

Last week a lime green Lamborghini crashed on PCH near Cappy’s Cafe. The crash was so loud it easily awoke me and most of the neighborhood from a sound sleep.

Last week, West Newport residents received the below mailer from the US Army Corps of Engineers. It provides information on the Santa Ana River Marsh Dredging Project and the Newport Beach Pipeline.

Dislodged Pipe

A storm raged last night and ended up pushing the “Newort Beach Pipeline” up onto the beach. The pipe took over two weeks to assemble and a day to drag out to sea. It only took one stormy night to spit it back up on the shore. I think Mother Nature might be telling us something.

umm….that’s not supposed to be there…but nice A Frame

major surf hazard

about a 1000 feet of pipe pushed up on the beach during the storm

Eclipse This Sunday & stuff

Posted: 05/17/2012 by goodie in hikes, HQ, Music, news, pics, Uncategorized

Another busy weekend is shaping up. On Sunday there will be a solar eclipse and hopefully you will see it. This rare event will be cool to watch from the beach. 5 to 8 PM best viewing time, hope for a clear sunset.

I will also be watching some of the live stream of The HangOut Music Fest as well as participating in a friends Baby Shower and planning for our upcoming Memorial Day get together!

Sorry that the beach cam has been out of order for awhile…..it will be back soon.
