Weekend at the Beaches, January 2009

Well, while the rest of the nation suffers through a record-breaking artic blast, we here in Southern California are enjoying a mild 80-degree week, with a little aggravation brought on by the Santa Ana winds, but nothing we can't handle. Of course, what good is it to sit on the beaches in the heat while everyone else is fighting off hypothermia, if you don't post up pictures of it to aggravate them further? So for all of my friends up north, enjoy! And know that I thought of you while I sat on the sand. (Pictures were taken in Oceanside and Malibu, California, on January 10th and 11th, 2009.)
