But then Kelly’s Wave burst upon the world, and a more broadcast-friendly contest was suddenly easy to picture. The W.S.L. bought Surf Ranch and began to step up its branding efforts. Surfers who had never paid much attention to the business of surfing found the W.S.L. logo stamped on more and more things: surf videos, music videos, Jeep ads, a chatbot. Contest Webcasts were moved to Facebook Watch, which many viewers loudly resented. Facebook? The initial Webcast didn’t even work. Even worse was the tone-deaf official announcement: “Facebook fosters a global community and, as surfing is a sport that celebrates and centers around community, we are proud to announce our media rights partnership with the platform.” (Cue vomit pantomimes.) The 2019 Pipe Masters was cancelled, for vague and unpersuasive reasons; so was this year’s Fiji event. The volume of online denunciations of the W.S.L. rose fearfully. Who were these kooks? (“Kook”—an all-purpose term of abuse in surf world.)

Well, the story got out. Next day Clark’s neighbor cited a coincidence, “Black steer, huh. I sent a black steer to the sale two weeks ago. I’d banded him but I missed one of his test-tickles and pretty soon he was trying to breed all the dairy heifers on my place!”

Bethany is staying at a family friend’s home because the family home is split-level. The only way inside is up a flight of stairs at the front door. While she recovers, Renee and Jeffrey are figuring out a plan to help get her home.

At a presentation earlier this year at Brickworld, one of the Friends designers was rattling off a list of in-jokes and other references. One odd question ended up being answered, which is why they include weird colors inside of sets, especially SW sets. We’d always heard it was because kids like bright colors, and SW sets tend towards black and grey, but it’s a lot more complex than that. Many designers like to include bricks in the colors of the flags of their homelands. So, someone from the US, UK, Norway, or France might slip red, white, and blue bricks into their display. A Canadian would just focus on red and white. A Swede would go for blue and yellow, and so on.

 Everything Australians held dear seemed to be summed up in Jennifer Hawkins’ personality the day she was named Miss Universe in Quito, Ecuador, on June 1, 2004.

Dubbed the "white gold" of these northern Spanish farms because of their color and the high prices they fetch around the world, the stringy delicacy is planted every fall and picked each year between April and June, at the height of the spring.

Bethany Hanna opens the blinds at the home of Chris and Wendy Lavergne of Braselton, Thursday, Aug. 2, 2018. while she recovers from injuries sustained when a deck collapsed at her Flowery Branch home. Her injuries prevents her from using the stairs in her multi-story home. – photo by Scott Rogers In shock, she ran to the lower deck of the house to check on her children.

Today we have a tractor with a posthole digger on the three-point hitch and a post pounder (or pusher in places where it rains). For those who still want to “rough it” there is the hand-held hydraulic post driver.

She stood atop a swell on the high plains of eastern New Mexico. Terry reached her and tied 100 foot of polyethylene water skiing rope around her horns, as well. A safety line so he could at least get within 100 feet of her if she decided to take off in the 300 acre pasture.

The idea of the perfect wave has been around surfing since I was a kid. “The Endless Summer,” a documentary by Bruce Brown, released in 1966, follows two California surfers circling the globe with boards. They find “the perfect wave” in South Africa, at Cape St. Francis. The holy grail in this case was a small, groomed, exquisite wave, peeling just off the rocks, and Brown assured us that, according to local fishermen, it broke like that three hundred days a year. In fact, it seemed to break like that for the ninety minutes that Brown was filming, and then the tide came up, or the wind shifted; waves of that quality have never again been seen at Cape St. Francis. Breaking waves in the ocean are fleeting, complex events, each one unique. There are great surf spots, to be sure, but there is no such thing in nature as a perfect wave. My dream wave, moreover, will not be the same as the next guy’s, or the same as Kelly Slater’s. (I’ve heard Slater rhapsodize about a certain day at a certain reef break in Barbados. Photographs from that day suggest that neither I nor the next guy would have dared to leave the beach.)

The open was O’Neil’s only singles career title, but that didn’t matter on January 3, 1979, when the 111th ranked player in the world became the queen of the court, crushing the eighth-seeded Nagelsen and not ashamed to shed a few tears after her $6000 win.
