| Border surge spreads west, video shows migrants rolling into La Jolla's Windansea Beach | ||
| 2024-01-27 | ||
Which brings us to far-west San Diego where I am, with its famous surfing spot, Windansea Beach in tony, ritzy, La Jolla, which is at least as rich as Martha's Vineyard, immortalized in Tom Wolfe's 1968 New Journalism masterpiece, "The Pumphouse Gang." Maybe the "mysterioso" stuff is a lot of garbage, but still, it is interesting. The surfers around the Pump House use that word, mysterioso, quite a lot. It refers to the mystery of the Oh Mighty Hulking Pacific Ocean and everything. What's going on at Windansea now? What's going on at Windansea now? A swarm of illegal aliens just washed up on one of my all time favorite surf spots. The writer says the waves were gnarly and the panga boat capsized. I don't see that in the video at the link (dunno how to copy and paste X videos or else I would have here). I've seen days when the waves would have bashed that boat onto the rocks and the illegals could have been seriously injured. It would have been an easier landing at a lot of other beaches. Anyway there is more at the link. And, yes, I said Terror Networks because this is organized human smuggling at its worst. Just because they don't come in with guns blazing, yet, doesn't mean it isn't war.

| #3 I'm pretty sure the nearest Home Depot is miles from Windansea beach. That kind of big box retailer would never be allowed in La Jolla. Only high tone fashion boutiques, restaurants and such are permitted in the commercial zone. The rest is luxurious, high end homes and full on mansions. Well, one exception as I recall, there was/is a Jack-in-the-Box about a block or so from the beach. Wouldn't be surprised if it employs illegals but certainly not that many. I know that landscapers do a lot of business in La Jolla because you'd be hard pressed to find a single weed or even a blade of grass out of place. It's that nice. But, from what I hear, many of the landscapers are Asian. I'm pretty sure the boat's pilot made a mistake beaching his craft at Windansea. As has been noted, the waves there can be very big and the rocks are dangerous. A lot of nearby beaches would have made for easier, safer landings. You'd think they would have learned by now because this sort of thing has been going on for years. I'll say one thing for them, for that panga boat to make it all the way from Tijuana to La Jolla with that many passengers is a remarkable bit of seamanship, especially since most of the journey was probably in the dark of night. I might like to get me one of those boats. I wonder if the Border Patrol auctions them off. But then, we don't really know how many of them capsize and sink with all passengers lost. |

| #2 From a city planning standpoint, never allow a Home Depot to be built near beach front property. |
