 Butterfly Beach - 11/17/02
Six and a half miles later, we arrived at Hendry's Beach to find what my wife saw as totally flat the day before was now 4-5 foot dumping waves.Most everybody made it in without incident, but our SOT paddler got clobbered and capsized just before he finished his run into the beach.
While we were on the beach for 30 minutes, the weather changed from bright sun to pea soup fog with almost no visibility and the surf was now terrible (board surfers were there though and having a blast).
It was 4 - 5 footers but the beach was so shallow that you had to have someone push you out, wait for 2 waves to break in front of you and then you would still have at least 2 waves to punch through.

 Pismo Beach Visitor Information Guide - Pismo Beach, California
The "Butterfly Trees" of Pismo Beach are one of our most beloved attractions From late October through February, thousands of colorful Monarch butterflies cluster in the limbs of Eucalyptus and Monterey Pines in the area, giving the appearance of yellow and orange leaves.
The Butterflies may travel over the Sierras and west of the Rockies as far away as Canada to seek protection here in the groves of Monterey Pine and Eucalyptus that offer shelter from the wind and a foliage that the Butterflies can clasp with their sharp tarsal claws.
If a Butterfly is dislodged it may fall victim to insects or field mice, since it cannot fly at temperatures much lower than 55 degrees, and at a temperature lower than 40 degrees, it is unable to move at all.

The butterfly ballot confusion didn't hurt just Gore: 1,631 people punched both for Bush and the candidate whose hole was below his on the ballot, Buchanan.
The Palm Beach Post review of 19,125 punch cards reveals, for the first time, how a confusing presidential ballot forced the country into a contentious 37-day standoff in the courts and the streets.
That 77-23 percent split is close enough to Gore's 62-35 percent victory in Palm Beach County to support the idea that the Bush-Gore votes probably were meant for Bush and the Gore-Browne votes probably were meant for Gore, Brady said.

 Florida 2000 Presidential Election
Another indication of the likelihood of such confusion in Palm Beach would be to compare the fraction of double-voted ballots in all counties of Florida to see if the Palm Beach fraction is much larger than all other counties, remembering that Palm Beach county is the only county that used this butterfly ballot.
Also, it is not immediately obvious that the two sides of the ballot are the same race; in the usual butterfly ballot the two sides are separate races and each side has its own column of holes to punch.
Palm Beach county, being one of the largest vote and undervote counties, definitely should have its undervotes counted by hand.

When the ballot disaster happened in Palm Beach, it was this chad with which the Democrat's hopes lay.
They could do nothing to fix the ballot that had caused so many thousands of voters to double-punch the ballots, but they could perhaps get an accurate count of the vote that had been legitimately made, and they rightfully expected such a recount to find their candidate victorious.
With the country long-since on notice that the punchcard systems were inherently defective, Palm Beach, along with many other counties in America, continued to use them.

 Rapid Response
alm Beach County's butterfly ballot is confusing to voters, claims a new study in the scientific journal Nature — but all it really proves is that American fourth-graders can outwit Canadian shoppers.
A team led by Robert Sinclair of the University of Alberta gave 53 Canadian shoppers a double-column butterfly ballot like the one used in Palm Beach County, but with the candidate names changed to reflect the contest for Canadian prime minister.
And "Canadian shoppers" are hardly representative of the U.S. voting population, let alone the elderly one in Palm Beach County — which employed a double-column butterfly ballot so it could print the names of candidates in large type.

 'Butterfly' Costly to Gore, Research Finds / Ballot design causes errors in Canadian test
A new look at the notorious Palm Beach butterfly ballot has found fresh evidence that voter confusion may have helped cost Democratic nominee Al Gore the election in Florida.
The test was designed to mimic the Palm Beach County vote at an Alberta shopping mall, using a Canadian roster of candidates for prime minister instead of the U.S. presidential contenders.
The issue is whether voters were confused by the two-sided column design of the Palm Beach ballots, which had left-side candidates alternating with right- side candidates, separated by a single column of holes to punch down the center.

 Review of Madama Butterfly Daytona Beach News
If "Madama Butterfly" were only about the American's thoughtless destruction of natives in occupied nations, or even about the social conditions that made it possible, the opera's rich, impassioned arias still would make it worth hearing.
First Coast walked a fine line with its energetic, direct "Butterfly," and it succeeded in cutting to the opera's essentials.
And, consistently in the three-hour, three-act opera, it enthralls its audience with the sheer, irresistible beauty of the tragedy, as characters express universal emotions too extravagant and too painful to withstand everyday life.
