I like jobs where we get to go to National Parks for work. Thursday we went to Muir Woods (old growth redwoods) to check out their native plant nursery, on which we're modeling our own. We drove back over Mt. Tamalpais (the North side marks our watershed's boundary), which is pretty high. We got to stop and check out the view before the sun went down, and spot a bobcat. The view was so beautiful: the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco, the lights from the east bay, and even the Golden Gate bridge peaking out from behind a hill.
I went into San Francisco Friday to see Of Montreal - it's really not that far from me, as long as the traffic is light. I left my friend's at 2:25 AM and got $8 of gas, got home, brushed my teeth, took out my contacts, and was in bed by 3:28 AM. So I shouldn't be so "ughh.... don't want to go so far..." because it's not that far. The only killer part is the $5 toll southbound on the Golden Gate. Parking is also killer, being my archnemesis, but I lucked out Friday night. I spent 30 minutes searching, gave up and parked in a hotel garage, but the attendant wasn't around when I left and the gate was open. So I just kept going.
Today I went to the Marin headlands. Remember that hill the Golden Gate bridge was peaking
out from? Right, that's it. I saw the postcard image of SF and the Golden Gate. It was pretty goddamned gorgeous.
I felt like such a wimp when I complained about the wind and had to add a sweatshirt. I talked to my mom this morning and their furnace can't even keep up with the cold from the wind there.

It's Annie again,
I'm so jealous of the warmness you must be experiencing.
I ... like your family... .still live in the frozen tundra of the midwest. It's -9 right now. Will be about that cold for a couple weeks supposedly. My car is barely starting in the morning. :(
So quit being a wimp ;) tee hee
