International crises are in full swing, ranging from Palmeiras celebrating early goals in Brazil to devastating conflict zones restoring passage on major highways. Meanwhile, Peru warns of coastal weather chaos, Argentina worries about future debt, and Cuba finally proving they can refine their own oil—it's a whole circus of overblown significance. None of it moves the tide, nor does it help with the fact that the Baja road to La Paz is still a two-hour, potholed, dust-choked existential crisis. Seriously, focus on the 12-foot swell at Cerritos; the world can burn while we wait for the asphalt.
