VALENTINES DAY, FEBRUARY 14, 202666*-

*THE first …666 was a mistake; heavy fingers. Now, well, it seems to fit. Surely anyone can see the ‘better angels’ are not being particularly effective in the world. Possibly because I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist religion, with its emphasis on the ‘signs of the times,’ special emphasis on the ‘end times,’ special study of and, other than JESUS, follower of the OLD TESTAMENT, which, if nothing else, is a story of a people who constantly turn their backs on GOD, and are consistently, with the obvious and horrific setbacks and suffering, given the chance to right the wrongs they commit, and to be forgiven.

AND now we have OLD TESTAMENT, PART II. How’s that going, GOD-wise? Depends which way you’re looking. We are not supposed to look at all. The holocaust excuse of ‘We didn’t know’ doesn’t work here, even with the deaths of so many reporters. If not being aware is your fallback position, please be aware of how far back and down you are falling. If you are afraid to know more, or to speak out, yes, we are supposed to be.

Gaza surfers. Surfing is another sport where HOPE is crucial. I got this photo searching for ‘Gaza surf forecast,’ and, yes, Surfline has one. AND if you are wondering what’s going to happen with all the concrete and rebar and rubble from the destruction… jettys, artificial reefs. Oh, it could be such a marvel.

Not to be any more preachy than this, and admitting and confessing that I am a weak Christian and a pretty solid hypocrite, CHRISTIANS generally profess a willingness to die for JESUS. If your belief in a Jesus who supports the systematic and well financed destruction of infrastructure, the willful withholding of food and water and sanitation, the bombing of civilians… maybe you’re right.

Tell yourself that when you’re picking out some flowers for someone you profess to love.

Meanwhile, I am more frightened than hopeful. Knowing that no one, so far, has lived to see the end of. the world, Armageddon-wise, we do all face our own reckoning. The books will be balanced. I didn’t make this up. It’s in the BIBLE… pretty sure of that.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 202666*-

Wait a second, Israel; why are you suddenly following me?

I occasionally have a day or two where the number of viewers and views suddenly POP, pop like an unexpected explosion. WHOA! This always causes me some confusion, wondering who or why; and it screws things up when it all goes back to the sub-100 normal level. The erection on the chart makes the real stats make it look like I’m so… not viral. SO, when I get 2066 hits from Israel in one and a half days, I worry a little. I mean, like, what did I post something that hurt someone’s feelings?

photo attributed to PICASA for a piece from INERTIA with a title about surfing in WAR-TORN ISRAEL. But, really, is the war tearing anything in. Israel? Not to mention GAZA, the beach mostly consisting of chunks of concrete. Future surf reefs? Hard to say.

No, I’d never say a word suggesting blowing the shit out of your neighbors doesn’t make your life safer, or make any statements that might be misconstrued as anti-semitic. But, nations do not always accurately reflect the views and wishes and morality of the citizens. The United States is an example. Really. BUT, if you have a different opinion, or you would just like to say you’re checking out realsurfers.net because we on the North Olympic Peninsula might just, might just get fewer rideable waves than you do, write me at erwin@realsurfers.net PEACE.

FEBRUARY 3, 2006- Where these fingers have been might account for this condition: HINT- Calendar Girls… mean anything to you? I am waiting, as I’m certain you are, for our President to denounce the heinous, despicable, immoral, inhumane, revolting, illegal activities described in the Epstein files, and for him to swear that the perpetrators of these vile acts, the scummy, slimy pedophiles, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 1, 2026 under title, “If you missed ‘Melania’ the cringe-worthy grift gift, just wait until “ERIC” comes out.”

I wrote a bunch of fairly predictable rantings about the Grifts and the Sycophants. You already know. Or you don’t. Still, I figured I’d just put this out there. Pay attention; shit’s happening!
