Is the slot car track still there?
... "Slot car track?"
I can either pretend I never read this post, and thusly, never reply to it, confess that I have no clue, but have seen no car tracks, or try to BS my way out of this situation. I don't believe there are any such car tracks in Pismo. It still looks fairly old, but not nearly as awesomely old as you have described.

The homeless guy definitely made your ride more interesting and memorable. I do envy your ability to take a day and just ride to visit a favorite spot, and just enjoy being alive and outside. You have a cute girlfriend too
How funny that you mention that homeless man, no one has yet, but something about him made him the most memorable part of my day, probably the part of the day where he ran up and stole my spot on the bus.
But no worries, that kind of thing happens. It's just life. And of course you can call me Banjo, or Skaggs, or Banjo_Mole, or [REDACTED], etc, etc, even, Your Exaltedness, if you like.

Well then, get back here! This is the most wonderful part of California, and I'd argue that I like it much more (in terms of culture) than the faux-bohemia of the Bay, and it's simply a little more pleasant than anything South of here. Or just go on a trip to the beaches down here, get some good chowder and iced tea (or beer, if that's your thing) and enjoy yourself!

Aha! Someone else to confirm my story is real! It's a pretty groupset, and all that-
And if you've ever got some extra parts or a project to work on, feel free to hit me up, I'd be more than happy to help!
Well, I'm actually very sick right now, with food poisoning and I've been pretty much immobile for the last few days, so I'm going to get back to resting.
Stay well, my C&V friends, until I feel well also!
