🔱 Urban Legend: Cheryl Ladd, Angel, Bombshell, PTSD Blast 💥

Surfing USA 🌊

They call it PTSD—read it literally, and it’s heavy.

Here?

It’s a pulse. A jolt. An urban legend. ⚡️

Cheryl Ladd on the California coast, white bikini,

the sun blessing her golden hair—in other words, a bombshell.

Thank God! 🙏

Sunlight spills across the oceanscape,

waves curling, crashing, relentless.

🏰

Children sculpt castles in damp sand.

Roller skaters hum along the boardwalk,

carnival music drifting, teasing the breeze.

Surfers surfing with the great whites, hammerheads, tiger sharks, mantas, and stingers.

🦈

Secrets hiding in the massive kelp forest off the coast,

currents weaving unseen, mysterious,

whispering of the return of Atlantis,

a legend half-buried beneath waves and time,

like the quiet echo of the New Atlantic Inn.

Then the land rises—redwoods, giants of patience,

air rich with the scent of resin and earth.

As dusk falls, fireflies flicker like scattered stars,

lighting the path ahead, guiding the wanderer deeper into a Hyper Fantasy Land,

where imagination blooms with every shadow,

where the New Atlantic Inn lives in memory.

And then back again—surf, sun, waves—

home to the coast where angels walk and legends linger.

And then—she steps in.

Cheryl Ladd, Kris Munroe.

Stride, turn, smile—poetry in motion.

The way of her curves, the little bounce, the little jiggle,

lines so fine, some say even super fine,

each one catching sunlight across the oceanscape.

(The series ran from 1976 to 1981, with Cheryl joining in the second season after Farrah Fawcett’s departure. Theme music by Allyn Ferguson and Jack Elliott.)

Farrah Fawcett, red-gold comet.

Jaclyn Smith, calm brilliance.

Tiffany Welles, razor-sharp intellect.

Together, a current of skill, charm, and power,

moving like wind-threaded redwoods,

each glance a spark of magnetism.

As a kid, hormones and heart alight,

it wasn’t just a show—it was a revelation.

Adventure. Longing. Desire.

I wish I could have been at the New Atlantic Inn, 🧜‍♂️

where angels linger just beyond the ordinary.

You could almost feel Cheryl Ladd’s rhythm,

the sway of her curves,

the elegance that made the sun pause,

echoing between oceanscape and towering redwoods,

between hidden kelp and eternal forest.

🔱

A story, a pulse, an urban legend—

shared by those who remember,

who’ve glimpsed the New Atlantic Inn,

and been struck, just once, by a bombshell. 💣

All the boys, young men, women, even the aliens in their UFO's,

wanted to be like BeachBarbie and the Charlie's Angels—

chasing adventure, style, and a touch of magic.

Wow! That’s my fix.

And the question lingers: When’s the next show?

Coda:

Manta Rays vs. Stingrays

Manta Ray (Mobula birostris)

Largest ray species, wingspan up to 7 meters (23 feet).

Can weigh over 1,300 kg (2,870 lbs).

Gentle filter-feeders, eating plankton and small fish.

Harmless to humans—no stinger or venomous tail.

Stingray

Typically smaller, wingspan 1–2 meters (3–6 feet).

Have a venomous barbed tail used mainly for defense.

Rarely attack unless provoked; can cause injury or, in very rare cases, death.

Quick Takeaway: Manta rays are the peaceful giants of the ocean, while stingrays carry a defensive weapon but are generally non-aggressive unless threatened.
