A friend is visiting my home island Kauai. I'm very jealous, but I'm also reminiscing about my beach bunny roots, when the five biggest concerns in my youth were:

1) how to not get tan lines - tan lines are evil, they still are!
2) how to get every single hair off my body - body hair is very bad for tanning - you get polkadotted skin.
3) the best time to tan for maximum sun exposure without burning.
4) boys, boys, boys.
5) what bikini to wear under my clothes to school, just in case I got invited to the beach.

Finally, a good decision is made by a San Francisco appeals court, State appellate court overturns ruling in Haygood case.

Talk about a good case for the abuse of affirmative action policies. The woman made a mess out of San Francisco elections and ran up the election budget, and then said she was fired because of race. I don't think so. Can you spell "incompetence"?
