Teen Sails Around the Globe - The Daily Beast

On a lighter more to my liking note:

Well, this would surely look good on a college application: Southern California
teen Zac Sunderland recently became the youngest person to sail around the world
alone, after docking in Marina del Rey on Thursday, where he was greeted by
roaring applause.

Cheers kid... I won't have the chance to circumnavigate until much later in life. For those of you who don't sail and have not spent a substantial amount of time living aboard a sea going vessel life on a boat is hard... Life on a boat in the middle of the ocean by yourself for weeks takes a serious toll on one psychologically. Guys in the navy have a hard enough time being out at sea with a bunch of other dudes. Think about it.

And perhaps even more exciting, having to do with California and slightly nautical related - San Diego is under attack by 5 foot long 100 pound squids. This is not a joke, I'm being serious. The Drudge Report is all over it. Apparently the squids are aggressive enough to keep people out of the water. Oddly enough the squids are natives of Mexico - obviously humans aren't the only Mexicans violently taking over Cali (was that too much? I should work on that).

It is early for most but late for me,  I must go sleep. I'll give a run down of Drudge, Politico and Daily Beast later this afternoon. Probably will have a Colbert supplement in there.
