A dry few hours

 Rain was supposed to come in today, but the forecast was that I'd have a window of time during the day... 

I got things ready to photo and list, then put them away, got some practice in, and some sleep. 

I woke up around 1:30 or 2, packed some things that go by FedEx but aren't so big that I'd need the bike trailer. This enabled me to put them in large cloth bags with handles that I hung off the handlebars, and amazingly it was dry so it was an easy ride up to FedEx. 

I dropped the things off, then locked the bike up and walked over to Ross and found a couple of T-shirts, actual Under Armor ones that don't have huge logos on them and that will go straight into my bag for when I go to Hawaii. One to wash and one to wear, but I might pick up one more if one more shows up at Ross, so I'll have two in the bag and will be wearing one. All kept new until the day I leave here. The shirts were $17. 

Then I went over to Sprouts for some things, and then returned to H Mart for ... more things. I also, when locking up the bike, had given my chocolate (a box of Meiji pieces and a little baggie of choc. chips) to an Asian bum who was parked up by the exit door. My headache was back with a vengeance when I got up, and I blame it on straying from the keto diet and eating chocolate, especially the chocolate. I'd bagged it all up to give to Tom but the old guy could use it more so he got it. 

I'd felt a few drops of rain but that was all there was, which was nice. I stopped at Tom's on the way back and told him the latest gossip which was that I'd seen a full-sized RV that had been painted black, and then was almost tipped over, leaning at a scary angle, on the edge of Coyote Creek. Tom was doing OK, but he and one of his hangers-on were heading out to pick up some marble countertops somewhere, so we parted ways. 

I rode back here and after it was dark, got to watch some people apparently break into (or make a good try) a large truck that's some kind of food transport. I'd never have noticed except they were shining flashlights all over and really bright ones too. Absolutely zero light discipline.

Good sleep helps

 Last night I got 10 things ready to photograph, and will do another 10, if small, things today so I'll list 20. It's not like I hav...
