What exactly is this place?
It's showy and rich, but it has the institutional feel of government, too.
Mary settles in with her classmates while I sign the ubiquitous release forms.
California parents throw elaborate birthday parties: never cake on the picnic table in the back yard.
Jonathan & I wander around. It is a government joint, funded by a potpourri of agencies and a public university. The stated purpose is water safety education.
There are long warehouses stacked high with rowboats, sculls, jet-skis, etc.
Remember, the State of California is bankrupt to the tune of 300 - 600 billion dollars. It is closing libraries and schools. It pays its vendors with IOUs.
And we Californians fully expect the rest of the country to bail us out.
You.Will.Bail.Us.Out.
You know it's true. We know it's true.
Ta-ta, suckers, we're going sailing.
