It's not right that, beneath hundreds of miles of rocks, the earth's inner core is thousands of degrees (allegedly). Meanwhile, here the surface, with direct exposure to what used to be the sun, we're all nearly freezing to death.

Got home from work, and my MIL left. She’s been staying with us since Simon was born, she had to go back to work herself, plus she needs to take care of her own house.

I was in Tulsa last night, and this morning my airplane was a sheet of ice. Which was weird becuase it didn’t snow or rain.
Ive had icecles hanging off my plane before, but that was after an ice storm.

So I spend a lot of time on google earth looking at random places. Recently came across a hidden gem called slab city in California. Never heard of it before, looks like paradise. Anyways it’s east of san diego, south of palm springs.
As I am exploring the fine sites of slab city, I notice a “tourist” attraction. The slab city springs. So I go to street view, and it’s like a sewage run off. As I am maneuvering around it, the picture refreshes and people are swimming in this sewage “slab city springs”. I think I threw up in my mouth.
Is that RJ?

I rode up to Sheep Bridge hot spring once and it was pretty awesome. Kind of a pain in the ass to get to, so no one was there. When I got in I decided that in a perfect world, every bike ride would end at hot springs...

Just love this place, Nothing like a nice long soak in the dead skin waters of a homeless encampment. It will remind you, on a packed day what a piping hot bowl of human soup would be like. Nothing like a good case of Cholera for the memory books.

Will be in San Diego in April. May have to treat the wife to a spa day.

Where I lived in the mountains there was a deep canyon leading down to the Central Valley and Bakersfield where they have "tule fog". The fog would creep up that canyon and get the roads wet and then it would freeze. Icy roads without a cloud in the sky.

Met a woman who lived in Pebble Beach on 17 Mile Drive while vacationing out there. She also had a summer home in Carmel to get away from the fog.

Although locking the doors doesn't really happen in this day and age, what with the cars automatically locking the doors for you.
The 20-year-old minivans lock the doors the instant you put 'em in drive. I noticed the 2015 Nissan Versa is on a delay. I'll have to fool around and see what kind of delay. It might give you 10 seconds after you put it in D. Or maybe they just lock once the car figures you're going too fast to safely jump out

And shortly I'm off to the city to sit in on an upper intermediate Spanish class. To see if it's a good fit for the coming trimester. At my age the only requirement for citizenship is speaking and comprehending Spanish. Citizenship just makes things run more smoothly
