beaches in full midday sun suck, the best time for beach is early/late morning, or at sunset - both for fewer crowds and less sun glare

Please remember when you swim in the ocean:

My latest piece for The Guardian:
American democracy is now declining at a faster rate than in Hungary and Turkey.

people make fun of lawyers for lots of things, and they're probably right to do so, but one thing a lawyer might have told you is not to appropriate people's identities in California.
