Plant stuff, day drink, chill.

Leaving Las Vegas.

Caught David Copperfield last night, figuring I should see the legend. Absolutely DO NOT go to his show. Check the reviews. For at least two years he has disengaged and simply walks through the lame show, barely audible, doing very little magic. (A giant spaceship “appears” - but the truth is they just activate its crane while the lights are off. That’s not magic.)
He’s using a maudlin, treacly story about the lost letter his “father” (an actor) left him when he died - which somehow, anticlimactically appears, via an alien baby Yoda puppet interaction - and tells him that we need more love in the world.
Gag me with a spoon.

So a mercifully short 48h stay here to sleep in a real bed (been in an RV for a week) and on to Ojai, Paso Robles, and then a couple of nights in Big Sur. Now that we’ve learned a lot more about how to live in an RV it’s not as hellish as the first days. So, like we’d thought, this is a learning/testing experience. In return: Arches, Bryce, Zion, Big Sur. A nice trade off.

Going to the library to pick up some video watching, going to Lowe's to pick up some gardening stuff, and going grocery shopping to pick up, um, groceries, I guess. And, with the weather as it is, I'll also be doing this:  

Gettin' a jump on Mother's Day and heading over to see mom.... 

catch up with life a bit
or that's the current plan

Meet a friend for lunch at a place called Chico Blanco.

Finish bagging leaves and chopping up brush for drop off tomorrow. Killed my back yesterday to get all leaves under a tarp from the overnight rain.

Don't forget to freshen up your lip gloss...

Gonna try to dodge flying cedar boughs, and not get too soaked. 

Dismantle an old snowblower and just keep the engine and tires and trash the rest.

not spend a few hours bitchin about how my favorite political manipulation tactic is stoking my intense dislike for those that do not agree with seriously distorted view of how they should think, walk and talk and how the government should put them in a vituperative social headlock until they cry campunga!


so after a couple of menial chores i'll probably take a nice bike ride with my beautiful partner and little dog while streaming rp while emanating empathy for all the world to see and hear

Decorate.
