A Man Screams In The Woods

Last night Miles and I went to watch the Lyrid Meteor Shower at 1:30 a.m. We drove towards Jenner and stopped past Duncan Mills on the roadside. We hadn't passed a single other car. With nothing around but cows, rolling hills, weird sounds and pitch blackness, it was totally nerve-wracking. It didn't help that I had mentioned the double-murder that happened on a Jenner beach a while back. We laid on the hood of the car and lasted only 5 minutes til we got PARANOID (the current FEEL BAD). Far in the distance we heard a man scream... it was long and drawn out, and definitely not a party-yell. We jumped in the car and went home!! We saw one meteor while driving and one each while laying there, so it wasn't all for naught! But we also learned that we're not ready to go more remote than we are just yet, hehe.

Yay Warm Sunny Day!

What an awesome day Miles and I had. It all started when we went to the 101 Casino at 3 a.m. ... had some beers at 6 a.m., and then discovered free b-fast at 7:30 a.m.! Free biscuits and gravy! The biscuits were chewy, but that's an observation and not a complaint because - hey they were free! We came home and played some morning ping pong before we headed to Jenner for coffee with the birds and snakes at the mouth of the river. Then we drove to Healdsburg with an all-Centro-matic shuffle and explored Westside/Eastside Roads, and let the sun shine in everywhere. We searched everywhere for BBQ and when we found it it wasn't ready yet. So we settled for an It's Always Sunny marathon at home instead.

The other night I had really good chicken pot pie w/biscuit at P-30. They had crayons at each table, and I drew a picture of Douglas' favorite food items to date:

Little did I know that when I was inspired to get a smooshie by the most famous smooshie Winston, that our new smooshie would come complete with Winston-like characteristics like eating everything!!! He never smells anything first -- he just opens up his awkward-shaped mouth and noms it!
