Staff of Life

Hairlip Louie just had to come all the way down to Santa Cruz, and you know why....to get his board waxed!
The Lip asked me to come with him incase of trouble, and I agreed with one provision, that he buy lunch at the Staff of Life Restaurant, they make an amazing sandwich. Well, he pulled up in front of the Happy Time Massage Parlor, and that's when I realized he didn't even bring his surfboard, and he's getting something other than a surfboard waxed. I had a good laugh because 7 minutes later we were on our way to the Staff of Life for some amazing sandwiches. ☆☆☆☆☆
