Today was a pretty chill day. I went over the mountain to see Snoop! Tak joined us later. It was so good to see her (and Tak too!)....been almost a whole year!
We had a late lunch at a place called Chocolate....it was very tasty. I had the chicken mole...nice! Then we did some window shopping. I bought a hard cover for my ceramic knife and a pug bank!!
Then we popped over to the wharf and hung out listening to the seal...they were pretty active today. Tak joined us there and then...

I was supposed to hike around Lake Chabot at 11am with Mking5 and Compassion4all. I got up early, filled my "hydrate or die" pack, fed myself a Safeway veggie sandwich, grabbed a few granola bars and hit the road.

Long story short, I arrived at the park alright, but it was the wrong entrance. I parked my car, looked around and realized the lake is probably 5 miles down the hill. No cell phone signal, no one around to point me to the right way, I decided to hike on my own....

Am I a weirdo because I don't drive?

Every time I am around my relatives, they ask me this same question:

So, when are you going to learn how to drive?

My answer, as always, is Never. They seem so horrified and perplexed by this answer. I am 36 years old and I have never had the inclination to even want to learn how to drive. I have no burning desire to get behind the wheel of anything. I just don't, you know?

So I get lectured on...
