Today after work I decided to head for the Berkeley Marina since I am cat sitting in the nearby area. It was a refreshing stroll, and while so many parts of the world are experiencing a heatwave, this part of the Bay Area stays nice and cool.
Today I saw this newspaper headline:
I keep hearing and reading about this “exodus”, but quite frankly, at least in the Bay Area, it feels as crowded as ever. I wish more people would leave. People move here for two reasons: the economy and the weather. Hey, if you can make a decent living in another state, then by all means……BUH BYE!
I almost felt guilty as the cool bay breeze washed over my face while in search of a geocache or two.
FOUND IT
Yes, that one on the right- the sticker magnet that says 891 – that’s a geocache. If you flip it over, there’s a paper log on the other side that you sign. The “hiding in plain sight” caches are my favorites. They are easy to grab if you know what to look for. The one on the left was part of a multi-stage mystery cache that took me all around Cesar Chavez Park at the marina. I clocked in over 20,000 steps today!
Afterwards I grabbed a bite to eat at a nearby place and about halfway through my meal the fog rolled in, and it got downright chilly!
As I walked past all those boats, I wondered what it would be like to live on one. I would like the breeze, but I would probably get motion sickness and also……um, how does the bathroom situation work?
Alright, I’m wiped. Night night.
