Friday bullets

A few update worthy things this morning.

• Mavericks! Contest is happening on Saturday. Lots of news/buzz around this event this year, more than I've ever seen before. Will be a madhouse out there Saturday as people try to go watch. They're encouraging people to stay home and watch the webcast or to go to AT&T park for the viewing party, to minimize the impact on the coast as hundreds of thousands of people trample down to Pillar Point.

• Monterey County Herald: Autopsy finds surfer high on meth at time of death near Pebble Beach. That is pretty insane, and also pretty sad. Not the way you would want to be remembered by.

• Vegas! I'm going to Vegas tonight. Staying with Noah before he moves to Vegas East, Macau. Andy and Joel are flying down from PDX, meet them at the airport and Noah's picking us up. Should be a fun visit and send off for Mr. Acres.
