Delusions of Coffee

 So I am driving home the other day, the car in front of me goes into the lane on the left and stops at the light.  So that when the light turns green he can turn left.  One small problem,  that lane is for the opposite side.  I guess he didn’t really see or feel the double yellow bump lines.  Although I was behind him, I slowed down and stayed several car lengths behind him.  I honked the horn a few times, but he didn’t seem to notice.   It was really lucky that as the cars from the other two lanes turned left  they were able to slow down and not hit him.  What is it about the start of the rain season makes people even  more unaware of their surroundings?

Its been so hectic that I haven’t had time to mention/write

John and I celebrated our anniversary on September First!

John surprised me with a trip to SF and it was charmed! We had dinner at Ruth Chris’s steakhouse (yum!), John wouldn’t tell me where we were going, but he made the fatal mistake of telling me the address and I guess instantly. *And* we got parking right in front. The food was great. I didn’t know where we were going after that, but as the waiter drops off the check she says “I hope you have a great time at Beach Blanket Babyalon” John had asked for directions when I had stepped away, she didn’t know it was a surprise. She figured it out really quickly from our reactions. Oh well!

The show was great, really current (politically) and funny. We got front row seats and I could see all the theater tech things as well as the show. We had a great time.

The next day I took John to Best Buy where he picked out a camcorder. This was put to good use at the beach. The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed the day! It was a good anniversary.
