Went out the Half Moon Bay with my wife and son this afternoon.  Half Moon Bay is about a small bay facing the Pacific ocean in the middle of San Francisco Peninsula.  It was only 15 minutes away from my house in Redwood Shores.  My wife tells me that I need to be near water to be healthy according to my Sa-Joo.  Sa-Joo predicts the future based on exact time, day, month, and year of birth.  Lunar calendar is used.  Any way, this is why I live in a water-front home although I think I would be happier living in a mountain with lots of trees around me.

Back to the visit to Half Moon Bay.  Weather was great with only a bit of wind.  We saw a dead sea lion on the beach rotting away.  We also saw many seals near the beach.  One even came within 10 yards of where we sat.  I clapped and it looked at me like "Hey, dork.  Never seen a seal before?"  I have seen a few seals swimming near the Oracle Headquarters just five minutes from my house when the tide was in, but I have never seen one from my house.  They probably blocked the waterway.  It would be troublesome to have lost and hungry seals invading my deck.  Get invaded daily by ducks, geeses, swans, and racoons is enough trouble for us.  This is how I got bitten by a racoon.

At the beach, I saw some USO (Unidentified Swimming Objects).  They seemed to be about the size of tennise balls and large swarm of them were riding the waves at the beach.  I didn't have a binocular so I couldn't see what they were.  I never seen anything like it before.  This leads me to my thought of the day: what is the function of mundane?  When we get used to something, it becomes mundane.  Is this an effect or does it serve some useful role in the way a human mind works?
