Gunpowder, treason and plot.

#GuyFawkesDay

The good old days of life in London… This time of year it was never Halloween, it was instead #GuyFawkesDay.

Fun! Hmmm… Were we there at the same time? Trained in Cocoa Beach for US Sailing Team Olympic Windsurfing all winters 1995-2002.

The US Olympic Trials for the Sydney 2000 Olympics were at Eau Gallie Yacht Club a few miles S of CB. Earned the 3rd place trophy. Lanee Butler came 1st.

Life!

good night!

I was there so many times - I win!
When I was training for the Athens Olympics I trained in Cocoa Beach for several years!

How many times were you to Ron Jons? Which town? Cocoa Beach?

Story from the Miami Herald about the founder of Ron Jon Surf Shops

Ron DiMenna, founder of Ron Jon Surf Shop, dies at 88 in Florida.
Thank you Ron! #RIP Cocoa Beach rules!

Had not heard that she was writing this. Do we have an idea of who assisted her in putting this book deal together? Must’ve been stealth. RIP Virginia

Hi Gabe, Just found you. Happy ‘bout that. PS Your cat has a face that says OK- I’m being very patient with you.

Check out my cat w my Dyson air purifier a few posts down in my timeline…

Love the story of the Peggy Martin Rose! Miami is home. Do you know if that rose can thrive here?

Yes. Makes sense! But what are the <names> of the good surfing beaches? (did some windsurfing at Second Beach & Third Beach, Newport. No waves there).

What is sweet Abbey up to right now today?

#JustLove #Purrfect #HappyLove Did you see mine in my timeline with the Dyson?

That’s “Beauty.” In March ‘25, she moved to Vizcaya (lol) after 20 years with me! 🌸💕

Bear surfboard against wall - tucked behind windsurfing short board

Which beaches up there get the best waves? No good waves in Florida, but whenever a storm came by Ft. Lauderdale, my Bear longboard (purchased in Sydney! : )) was pretty fun. It has seen better days, but I still love it.

Did you go out again?

How cold is the water up there now? Think I’d need a Florence Marine X wetsuit…

US SENATE STRIPS BAN ON STATE AI REGULATIONS: THANK YOU FOR TAKING ACTION! Today, the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly (99-1) to remove an unprecedented ban that would have stopped states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence from Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Thank you to all WGAE members and allies who made calls and sent emails to their Senators to kill the amendment. COLLECTIVE ACTION WORKS!

Thank you to all WGAE members and allies who made calls and sent emails to their Senators to kill the amendment. Collective action works!

House passes bill that bans state regulations on AI for the next 10 years.

Understand why <today> we need the Senate to delete this AI provision from passage using the Big Beautiful Bill as a delivery vehicle. Engadget podcast:

I’m not for positive (with all the misinformation out there), but from what I found, he’s 29.

I read he left his country 16 years ago. Age 13?

So when was he a gang member?

INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE: Kirsty Coventry elected President of the IOC. (First female president) www.thesportsexaminer.com/tsx-bulletin...

Wouldn’t it be cool if Barbara Kendall of New Zealand were elected 1st woman President of the International Olympic Committee? Maybe not this time, but maybe sometime in the near future?

The election for IOC President takes place in two days in Greece: www.thesportsexaminer.com/internationa...

Sometimes true events are so unbelievable they’re unbelievable, especially when these events are wrapped up into one story…

AI chatbots are chicken feed.

A lot going on here.
