Why is gas $.50 a gallon cheaper in Ventura? And they have the ocean. No fair.
Traffic + Los Angeles Basin = Suckatude. Seriously suck. Over four hours to go from Encino to the docks in San Pedro. At 2:00 in the afternoon. That ain’t right.
We did see a very well fed coyote on the 405. Clearly he does well eating motorists stopped in hideous traffic.
We like to look at houses wherever are we. Last weekend while we were on Catalina for the long weekend we saw a very lovely home. We played “How much you think?” I guessed $3.5 and suggested I might be a bit low. David thought I was a little high and went for $2.5. After pulling out Mr. Clooney and looking up the listing we actually had a couple stop and ask us if we were ok. See we were falling all over ourselves in laughter. Why? $7.9 million. For a house. And the current administration thinks we all need small checks to bolster up the economy!
I’m doing my part to help the economy – and without a check! As we were in a hurry to catch the boat to Catalina, see traffic above, I tossed my coke in my handbag. With my camera, iPhone, and iPod. Imagine my surprise to find I hadn’t tossed the cap to the coke in with it. David managed to salvage Mr. Clooney and the iPod. My camera, however, is shot. Again. This would be the second camera I have destroyed with liquids in about a year. The first being the one that drown in salt water while boating last New Year’s Eve in North Carolina. I still hold fast to my belief that was karma kicking my ass for text messaging people in blizzards that I was reapplying sunscreen.
Sunday morning was the first morning in almost a year I didn’t wake up tired. Literally almost a year. Something about hotels on islands maybe? Or maybe it was because Nathan only woke up once to nurse. I can deal with once.
California is a big ass state that takes a very long time to drive from somewhere around the middle to somewhere north of the southern border. Especially with a teething seven month old boy.
Mr. Clooney shows rain all week. Everyday the little icon is rain. For the next five days. And it has been raining for several days already. I’m bored. Nathan is bored. I have devised a plan. Instead of it raining everyday for two months a year, why doesn’t it rain once or twice a week all year? Like every Tuesday is Rain Day. People could plan their wardrobe and outdoor activities accordingly. Instead of drowning your garden with two months of rain and then drying it out the rest of the year, everything would be lovely all year round. Someone should look into that.
Clearly the rest I got last weekend has evaporated and it is time for me to find sleep. First, I leave you with this face…
