Love Ben. So far too much of that series views too much of the history through a modern lens.
Other than that I do enjoy it

4 times in 3 hours....... Let that sink in. Not sure 13 y/o me could pull that off. But I'm more horrified than I am impressed.

Back from our journey. Over 6,000 miles logged. Among other things we took in Sedona, Grand Canyon, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Big Sur, a wonderful state park near Santa Cruz (redwood groves), Bodega Bay, Mendocino wine country, Yosemite, lake Tahoe, Rocky Mountain NP/Grand Lake, the Pyle family farm in Wilmore Kansas...
Our faves were probably Sequoia and that state park. Wendy was like a kid with the snows we encountered. She has a gift for unrestrained delight.

A friend's mom wrote stacks of very sweet letters to family and friends with instructions for her daughter to mail them at specific times. Folks were still getting letters from her six months out.
I thought it was wonderful.

He's an interesting guy. For one of his classes in college write a business plan for what became this chain and raise the money by two seasons of Alaska fishing

I’ll try to keep that in mind. Who is “Razing Cain?” Sorry Raising Cane's They serve chicken strips or fingers. People seem to like the place so well they are willing to wait in long lines to get the stuff. The founder / owner is a customer of mine. His tree house which is three stories is the stuff of Legends

Evan, it sounds terrific. I'll be curious to hear how Yosemite is at this time of year. I've always wanted to go but not when it's crowded. It's still dark here. I'll be off to the desert in a little while for a walk with a camera. Later I'll smoke some chicken for dinner. Enjoy your day. We arrived at the gate at 730 and almost had the place to ourselves. The snow melt is on so the river is aroar and the falls are putting on a show. By the time we left it was getting busy. After 5/20 entry is by reservation.

At a friend's place in Oakdale, headed to Yosemite.
There is plenty to criticize about California but MAN, it's an amazing place.
Seeing it through Wendy's eyes turns the familiar into wonderment.

Until then, I have to try to concentrate on work. Good luck with that! Here's hoping that nature takes over soon

Monterey. Chilly!
I think we'll drive over to Big Basin SP where we often went growing up, and stop at Hill Guitars in Ben Lomond.

Exeter CA.
The drive into Bakersfield was mind blowing. The level of agriculture here is off the charts.
Doing Seqouia NP today. 22f there now.
Then on to Monterey.

Warm feelings in chilly Flagstaff.
Bantering with my dear friends, sharing ❤.
I was best man at his wedding and he was at mine. And before he got married Elena had been my girlfriend. Drinking coffee out of our "Felix" Bauman coffee cups. Made using the ashes of our dear departed friend.
