Huh

Okay, I still haven't skateboarded again yet, but I had to share this. I'm off on a road trip for a few days, up the Central Coast. My first stop today was at Pismo Beach. I spent several hours there today, and then headed to San Luis Obispo. From Pismo, I got on the freeway on-ramp to head the rest of the way to SLO. On the on-ramp to the 101, there was, if you can believe it, a boy skateboarding on the side of the ramp. And not doing it very well. I'm guessing he's not at the level yet where he can go practice at a skate park, even though I've heard there is quite a good one not far from here. (I'm planning on checking it out tomorrow.)

I was silently cursing this kid in my head as he skated near where I was driving. Then I remembered all the signs I had seen along the beach that said "No Skateboarding" along with the municipal code listed below. I wonder if the skateboarding ban is as strict in the rest of the city. I also wonder if that *might* have something to do with this kid risking his life on a freeway on-ramp. Okay, it's not a good idea no matter what, but still...
