Went to the beach last night to throw a fire in a pit at SANO
all the pits were taken so we went to the end of the road and asked if we could share the pit for a little while........made a new friend whom used to work with Wyland.....
go figure..........tides were high and the water warm.........
It was a classic warm evening and as we pulled up we saw one guy by himself watching his fire..........a big wave came up and surrounded the fire pit and circled under his beach chair...........the full mooon and SANO plant shining in the background
PURE MAGIC.........
life doesn't get much better than that.........
I am stoked to be a SANO surfer and enjoy SANO so very much

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Single-home price growth over the 12 months ending June 30 was the strongest in history, according to the National Association of Realtors.
In its quarterly survey, NAR found that U.S. home prices rose at an annual rate of 13.6 percent, to a median price of $208,300.
Of the 149 metro areas surveyed, 67 showed gains of more than 10 percent. See table tracking all 149 markets.
David Lereah, NAR's chief economist, called the increases unprecedented. "When you look at appreciation of home prices relative to the overall rate of inflation, these are the strongest increases on record," he said.
The Phoenix market, up 47 percent since the second quarter of 2004, led all metro areas. The median home price there is $243,400.
Right behind Phoenix came several south Florida metro areas, including Cape Coral/Fort Myers, with growth of 45.2 percent.
Seven metro areas posted price declines; the most severe was in the Kalamazoo/Portage area of Michigan, where home prices have declined 3.7 percent, to $122,600.
The lowest priced market was Danville, Illinois. There, the average home is $73,400. Though that's up 16.9 percent from the second quarter a year ago.
The West beat all other regions, averaging an annual gain of 19.5 percent, to $312,600. The South had the slowest growth, just 5.7 percent to $179,400. The Midwest climbed 12.1 percent to $167,800 and the median home in the East is up to $243,100, 13.1 percent higher than a year ago.

WAKING SLEEP
Dozy Gary Lachman wakes from his reverie to explore the visions and brainwavess of the half-asleep.
The brief transition between wakefulness and sleep we experience each night has been known by many names: the ‘borderland state’, the ‘half-dream state’, the ‘pre-dream condition’. Its technical name is the hypnagogic state and, along with dreaming, it is one of the most fascinating altered states of consciousness we can experience without the use of drugs.
In the hypnagogic state, visions, voices, weird insights and unusual sensations greet us as we drift out of consciousness. Faces may appear, threatening or comical. A landscape may open up, with distant mountains and wide, expansive vistas. Geometric forms, jewels, diamonds and intricate patterns may dance before our mind’s eye, not unlike those seen under the influence of certain psychoactive substances. Splashes of colour, flares, sparks and cloud-like forms-known as ‘entoptic lights’, ‘phosphenes’ or eigenlicht, may drift through our drowsing consciousness, accompanied by strange, nonsensical sentences announcing portentous truths. We may feel we are floating, or that our body has grown to enormous proportions, or that we have suddenly grasped the answer to the riddle of the Universe.
