BEACH BOYS

Life is a beach.  For real.  Waves at Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes, California, have called to surfers and the likes for decades.  Allegations exist that a gang of middle-age locals consider the hot spot their territory and harass any who infringe.  "For years, beachgoers and witnesses have accused the Bay Boys . . . of . . . bombarding outsiders," with a string of physical and verbal attacks.     story

Cooking a large batch of green beans for a church activity, a "woman said she found a severed snake head in a can."  At first she thought it was just a burnt bean, until looking closer she saw eyes.  (Snake eyes, one could say. Lol lol lol.)   Although queasy the next day, "she's not mad" and pointed out that a sense of humor always helps.
