Ffs, at least I found a dish towel that wasnt a billion dollars. Then I look at the liquor section at target and vodka is like a nickel.

The couple I am staying with are awesome. They are retired, the guy is building a cabin in Nevada, and the matriarch is English but grew up in south Africa. They are both properly odd characters. I am now sitting outside in the sun, with blooming roses, succulents, an orange tree I’m gonna rob, and a kitty. Her name is Bear.
Yeah, I didn’t even ask permission. This orange is mine. And I just got buzzed by a humming bird.

Hey, the best kind. Now I need to figure out what to do with 100lbs of persimmons, and 50lbs of kumquats. There is a non functioning pond in the garden I’m gonna fix without permission, and there are at least a hundred clay pots that I will fill. I’m on a rampage.
These peeps won’t know what hit them.

I was thinking maybe ten gallons of marmalade? If this job thing doesn’t work out, I could sell it at a farmers market.
Oh, and I just fixed their toilet. Cause that’s how I roll.

It’s been a few days, so how you doin’, Japh?
Got any cool pics to show us?
Not a single one. :D. I am surrounded by corporate buildings atm. Oracle, msft, arista, Palo alto, and so on. This weekend I may make it to Monterey and see some fish.
But jebus the food is good here.

The MBA is a nice aquarium. I spent the first day of my honeymoon there! (Yes, my spouse was there with me.)

I wanna go back. The one day we had there on a road trip to LA and back was the day some dork emptied a pepper spray can into the ventilation system. That sadly made the visit to the aquarium way too short.

Looks like you stopped at Hearst Castle, too… And all kinds of other fun places! Too bad about the aquarium. What kind of jerk does something like that?

That’s kinda funny, I spent the second day of my honeymoon almost there. Instead… We ended up at Hearst castle!! It was a looong drive.
When I drove down here on Saturday I basically did the exact same route as the first day I was married. The weather was better then
