Snorkeling at La Jolla Cove

Filed under events

Sunday  10:00 am   Join us as we don mask, finns and snorkel for a delightful swim in La Jolla Cove. 10:00 am.  The water is wonderful in the cove and we have a great time with the fish, seals, birds and each other.

La Jolla Cove is some of the best snorkeling in San Diego. The waters are calm,  very well life guarded, and generally the visibility is very good. Local fish are beautiful Garibaldi, sardines, rockfish and leopard sharks and seals and sea lions. Numerous birds are on the nearby rocks and fly overhead.

Some people wear a wetsuit, but many find this not nessary.

Showers and a changing area is just up the steps from the beach. The beach itself is small and has just enough room to set some stuff, but not really enough room to lie on a towel, but that space is available just up the hill overlooking the water.

It’s a terrific amount of fun and great exercise as well.

La Jolla Cove is an ecological reserve. Meet in Hillcrest between10:30 -10:45 for car pooling. We will hit the beach just after 11:00 If you like bring your own lunch and beverage in a non glass container, otherwise enjoy some lunch in one of several nearby restaurants.

RSVP if you can offer or need a ride. check our meetup site humanism/184

“Islam and Intimidation: Submission, Struggle, and South Park”

Filed under events

May 16, 2010    6:00 pm  Joyce Beers Community Center  1220 Cleveland Ave San Diego CA 92103

For our third Sunday Lecture/Discussion (Sunday May 16th, 6pm
Joyce Beers) we will be talking about “Islam and Intimidation:
Submission, Struggle, and South Park”. Where did this start, why can’t
you show Muhammed, and where do we go from here? We will also be
showing the controversial films: Submission (The film that director
Theo van Gogh was murdered over), Fitna (Geert Wilder’s hardcore
short-film about terrorism and radical Islam), and the recent 2-part
South Park episode that drew all of the controversy. (this is a
presentation of graphic and controversial material, but as
freethinkers we don’t shy away from the controversial. We examine it
through reason and an open mind). We will not mock-for this meeting, a
sense of humor is expected, an open mind required, and any kind of
abuse verbal or otherwise, will not be tolerated)

Some video content is graphic and violent, (Fitna) and may not be suitable for all viewers.

This is potluck, as usual bring a dish to share if you feel so inclined.
We look forward to seeing you
