How about an ocean cruise?

 

We went on a cruise out of SoCal some 15 or so years ago. Now, the bunker fuel used by the many cruise lines produced locally (Phillips 66 Wilmington refinery) has been shut down by Gavin newsom's onerous Environmental restrictions. Nothing wrong with environmental restrictions but his actions show how the over-the-top restrictions can be detrimental to the local community.

 

Good to see not so many like he thinks are listening to the blabbering, stupid beyond stupid, fool in the wh.

 

Curious how long ago - as even by mid late August - isn't it already getting cool that far north? We cruised the college Fjord & even early early August it was a bit Frosty
