Day 25

(neither concurrent with text - coachella valley preserve last week)



someone else's nice photo of the preserve

     DP then S returned the rental and I faced the music of vibrant fitness this time armed with a light blue exercise ball which made me feel more a part of the group but not sure that was warranted because the host and leader said something about coming early to the next class. I hope I am not demoted to the little dog area like at the DP. After some recovery time S, D and I went to Ralph's and Rite Aid to try and score some zolp but there was a question of the Washington state out of state controlled substance process. Another jam up was the UPS teasing a delivery of the phone dash mount and now I have to go to someplace called Michael's down near or in Cathedral City where I have spent so much time already. Anyway we had a nice visit with James of the epic Shuswap Lake houseboat journey and his partner Rich who may invite us over to hear a rare and beautiful version of The Streets of Laredo with piano and voice. Gave D half a benadryl.

Day 20

After chewing through leash, D works next table at Roly's  crime scene       Well, there was 3 kinds of nut butter and toast for breakfast which is normal. Stalled until the tide went out and we went off to Jamala, a beach to the north almost to Vandenberg Air Force Base. There was a little store that offered hamburgers and we had them on a table by the ocean. Walked the beach. Circled home through the Santa Ynez Valley, the Melville Winery in there, over San Marcos Pass and Richard came over for gin and tonic so we caught up a bit and he was off. The day wound down then.

Day 32

  front Dust       S to DP, me to fitness. Spoke by phone to R in Seattle about Xmas playlist and the turbulence of her flight out of the valley quartering the power wind. Began to pack the van for tomorrow as we will ramble north. Wind in the forecast. Heading for the Carrizo Plain National Monument, the largest native grassland left in California (1,200 sq miles) which may be a vast carpet of flowers. Biked with M to the Deep Well community, the Revival thrift store for pillow case and Rite Aid for ice cream in a cup, butter pecan. M, S, D and me up into Desert Palisades for the last time and then to M's for dinner which was super-good. Also Ralph's for supplies for the road.
