2008 11 10 The weather was nice and warm and as soon as the motorhome was set up, we jumped in the Suzuki and took off across the world famous bridge towards Fisherman's Wharf for a beer. We quickly encountered our first eight lane highway, first toll road, first traffic jam, state trooper wearing "Smoky the Bears Cap" and guys holding hands! On the day arrived, about 3000 homosexual/lesbians were demonstrating on the streets objecting to the results of State Proposition #8 ...

... want to study aboard here for at least a year, maybe two. I hope that next year, I can return and search for a university that would fit me well after my two years at Shasta college. My French has improved dramatically. I think if I continue to practice it and if I spent a year in France, I could definitely be bilingual. Well, I've got one hour left till I see my family, I knew they are just dying to ...

... at the bar but it appeared she was a waitress there - I'm sure she could also get a job scaring little children as well as she certainly scared me! We walked round towards Chinatown, along in a circle and tried to get some food in Scala's Bistro but there was a 2 hour wait. I doubted we could stay awake long enough!

Despite his agreement with us that the convention of routinely tipping all restaurant staff regardless of service quality is ridiculous and clearly renders tipping for exceptional service meaningless, he was quite insistent that we tip, because that's just how it's done here. Very simply, regardless of local convention, we don't tip unless we ...

I got that fixed and was also not happy with how the engine was sounding ( a little rough)so I bled the fuel lines as I had just changed fuel filters after having the tank ...

... t own it. If I AM life then there is nothing to gain or to lose. There is just the being of it, now, and now, and now. And what happens in the future? That will be now, when it is. For now, I am here, alive and feeling and I am going to continue to live wholeheartedly loving. So, I suggest you do the same. Like this is news! Whatever you feel called to do as you read these words, when you see the documentary (if you choose to), whatever feels ...

... and walked for a while with the camera, past the redwoods, and over a stream, with bright sunshine and cool dry air and the wonderful smells and the deep deep quiet. We found a spot off the trail, and sat, looking up a dark hill filled with the giant trees. We spoke to them, and to the forest as a whole, and cried a bit more, at the thought of their possible destruction, and pledged to do our best to help. There's something about sitting and getting quiet amongst the redwoods ...
