Top o the morning to ya! A traveller's best friend...Ambien CR. Yeah, baby... pop one of those suckers and eight solid hours of sleep, which is a step in the right direction, I'd say. It's 7:45 and the house is dead quiet. No sense in waking everybody up - all are pretty pooped. I made it till 9:30, hence my early wakeup. Figured it was 48 hours of next to no sleep, so it feels like I'm alive again.
The picture above is the morning view from our back porch. Notice some mountain in the distance, Mt Somethin-er-other. Can't go up there because of fire danger. Closed mid June thru Sept. Like I was going to haul my ass up there! The back yard is very peaceful. It's where I'm headed after this water begins to boil.
Our VW Passat has a GPS in it. Chris, new age tech that he is, got to speak to us in English and told it where "Home" is. So, we're just going to venture out, down back country roads and then tell the GPS to take us home. Should be interesting. BTW, the wind finally died down. This part of the world reminds me of the Bay Area, say Palo Alto - Mountain View, before all of the housing developments gobbled it up. A noticeable lack of birds... the French ate them all! Ciao 4 now. PC
