My DAD and Me in Sequoia Park, Eureka

The coast guard put up this sign on the entrance to the North Jetty to GET THE ATTENTION of visitors. We went there because the surf report on our computer said that there were 20 to 30 foot waves...
A QUOTE FROM ROBERT PIRSIG's BOOK LILA. "Why should a group of simple, stable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen struggle for billions of years to organize themselves into a professor of chemistry? What's the motive? If we leave a chemistry professor out on a rock in the sun long enough the forces of nature will convert him into simple compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. It's a one way reaction. No matter what type of chemistry professor we use and no matter what process we use we can't turn these compounds back into a chemistry professor. Chemistry professors are unstable mixtures of predominantly unstable compounds which, in the exclusive presence of the sun's heat, decay irreversably into simple organic and inorganic compounds. THE QUESTION IS: Why does nature reverse this process? What on earth causes the inorganic compounds to go the other way? It isn't the sun's energy. We just saw what the suns energy did. It has to be something ELSE. What is it? " He also wrote ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE.
