Those from up north need to be careful what they wish for. Several people have mentioned missing having a white Christmas. Yesterday it snowed in Malibu, California. Malibu!
We spent the morning doing chores. Dave installed the cable cover things he bought at Home Depot to cover the black cable runs up the wall behinds his side of the dinette. And I did a bunch more research since we about to head in a new direction. And I learned how to order prescription refills online to be picked up a a WalMart down the road.
Which is likely to be a problem in the future. I have four prescriptions I take daily. The WalMart website only listed one of them. Fortunately it is the one I need now. But I need them to figure out where the others are before I need to refill them as well.
Looking out my window here at San Elijo State Beach I see the camp host and rangers shoveling sand off the roads and parking pads. The rain moved things around a bit. I’m so glad we aren’t workcamping someplace where we are expected to shovel wet sand!
This park has recycling bins, which I approve of, and the money they get from that supports their Junior Ranger program, which I also approve of. The more kids we get turned on to nature, the better off our earth will be. I remember when our daughter was a Junior Ranger and she still cares more for the earth than most people her age.
We drove by a beach parking lot with an interesting problem. The dunes that keep the ocean off the pavement are also keeping the rain on the pavement. There are still plenty of parking spaces for the people who go to this beach on a December weekday, though.
The bus stop at the corner had a sign on it saying, “Bike Stop.” Dave’s guess is that is where buses with bike racks stop so you can load your bike on board to move you further along your route.
So what do you think of “Dexter’s Deli: Health Food for Dogs and Cats”? In my time as a pet owner that was known as Purina.
Part of the road was flooded. We drove slowly though the water. Some people never slowed at all. Apparently four-wheel drive makes you nuts. It doesn’t waterproof your engines, people.
We stopped at REI in San Diego to buy some collapsible water jugs that have spigots so you can set them on your counter and use them instead of water from the fresh water tank. We also bought some other stuff while we were there. The checkout clerk asked me if I had used my 20% discount yet and she looked surprised when I said, “Yes.” She thanked me for being honest about it. What type of world have we become where honesty is a surprise.
We needed to turn onto Convoy Street. I kept calling it Caravan Street. That’s what a convoy is called in the RV world.
The leaves in San Diego are changing color. Looks like Minnesota in October. Does not look like Christmas. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I don’t want snow.
In El Cajon, California, we stopped at Denny’s being careful not to run over the brown bag with the bottle in it standing in their parking lot. The staff there was amazing. One host/server, one cook, and one bus/dishwasher serving everyone cheerfully while joking with one another. The food was perfectly prepared. I would go there again.
The staff was friendly at the Circle RV Resort in El Cajon, too. We stopped early enough to do some more chores. Dave caulked our leaky window and plugged in my Segway to charge it while I exchanged books. Then we both did more computer stuff. Alway, always more computer stuff.
TTYL,
