Being Independent

Off celebrating Independence Day and conducting a little personal research on the impact of the new anti-alcohol regulations on San Diego area beaches.  In the meantime, even though I haven’t seen it yet, Alexander Jackson’s fictionalized but first-hand account of his stint as a beach lifeguard in Stone Harbor (New Jersey) has been getting some good reviews.  The book is called Lost Paradise, A Lifeguard’s Tale.  The account is reportedly based on his experiences lifeguarding for five summers on the New Jersey shore.
