Story

My first experience with surfers and surfing was in Hawaii. A local man took the time to teach me the basics of surfing. I enjoyed the warm Hawaiian waters and big waves for a month and a bit. Those days of surfing in my younger years have always kept me interested in the sport.

I first came to Tofino as a commercial fisherman in 1980. I learned that surfers from far away places came to surf the Matlahaw break on the Hesquiaht Peninsula. Surfing has been popular among Tofino residents for many generations. As a matter of fact, the home I owned in Tofino had a fabricated furnace in the basement with a surfer image cut out of steel and applied to the door because the previous owner loved to surf. When I asked around, I heard of surf spots like Wickaninnish, Combers, Long Beach, Cox Bay, South Chesterman, Rosie Bay, Chestermans and Florencia as well as Matlahaw.

I still enjoy the intimate contact with the sea, sitting on a surf board waiting for a good wave to carry me away. I have been to a few of the favorite haunts of the local dudes and found many surfers from around the world enjoying the waters of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. For the Tofino locals, it is a privilege to have world class surfing right at our front door. All who dream of the ultimate ride on a big wave can understand changing the ancient weather saying to, "Red sky at night, Surfer's Delight."

Block Mount: High-quality print mounted on a 3/8” MDF board where a protective UV lamination is applied. Features a subtle 1/8" black beveled edge and a pre-cut hanger slot for easy hanging.

fascinating and compellingly written
Format: Hardcover
Elizabeth Kolbert is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. She has such a knack for writing in a clear, compelling way that makes you think and marvel and ask questions you've never considered before. In her previous book, The Sixth Extinction, she catalogs all the ways in which humans have drastically changed the natural world, ushering the new age of the Anthropocene. Under a White Sky is an exploration of the ways scientists around the world are trying to undo those changes. There are people engineering unique solutions to combat a variety of environmental threats: invasive carp in the Chicago River and cane toads in Australia, Louisiana's rapidly disappearing Mississippi River delta, rare species that now depend entirely on human conservation for their continued survival, and, perhaps most pressingly, the problem of rising carbon emissions and global climate change. That there are brilliant minds working innovatively to solve these problems inspires optimism. But these sobering portraits really highlight the extreme human measures it takes to keep at bay the problems caused by humans interfering with nature in the first place. We've already transformed the planet; how much more will it be transformed by these interventions, and in what ways?

It's good for storytelling but has content in stories that's inappropriate in this century
Format: Audiobook
Well modulated interesting and excellent storytelling ability, and skills to teach us of the same. However. I get to the 2nd lesson, it's a book of fiction for the story premise. She describes a woman in her family who can't get pregnant (in the old days), knowing her husband really wants children,and gets happy, as she turns to her "maid" and exclaims that this is alright, he can have a child with their maid! Then the storytelling author, laughs, jokes, about pleasing him and when she says the audience is laughing too, that maybe he can get a 2nd maid pregnant too. Laughing and joking I. The man's eyes as she tells it, about men and their sex drives. I'm not reading g a Victorian romance novel or of the plantation owners in the south, I'm reading a book of lessons on good story telling. This turned me off 500%, and I am done with this author and this book. Is this told by an FDLS polygamist, or ...what? What would make this story in 2013, OK to teach in a college course, or in this book? I don't care if she even made it up for a family old story.
