Since I was in the LA area and had never really been to a beach, I decided to drive over to Venice Beach. The beach was prety much what I expected - sand, water, people, birds and all kinds of stuff washed up on the shore. What I did not expect however was the crazy things people were hawking along the sidewalk close to the beach - every other tent/stall was a Psychic, Tarot card reader, spiritual healer, chinese masage therapy from Dr. John all dressed up in a lab coat, tattoos and piercings, sunglasses and the list goes on and on. But the number of people claiming to be psychic far exceeded any others. I guess the one good thing about the gullibility and the stupidity of the people is that it makes for a fairly easy profession that almost anyone can take up as long as they can spin a incredulous tale!
