LIKE I NEED AN EXCUSE

You know there's no way I was going to miss out on an opportunity to do a cheap post on a day when the Wedge was going off. It was all-time today, as in huge, reportedly 20+ feet, though it depends on you measure it. But it was big by any standards, that I know from the scads of videos already on YouTube. Very rarely does it get that big during the summer. So, thank you Wedge, for tonights easy out. You made me think of Dick Dale's song named after you. Of course, that would be the one song I was unable to find a good quality rip of. Nevertheless, the Dick Dale Wedge connection will serve as a fuss free exit. It's summer, it's surf music and there's a swell somewhere, so shut up.
