Lost Angeles

I've been watching a lot of Adam 12 lately, which if you don't know, is a TV show about two beat cops in late 60s L.A. It's pretty good for a variety of reasons, and if you have Netflix you can see the entire, 7 season series for free online. But anyway, it's been making me day dream about Los Angeles in the old days. So I daydream about times before I was born, so what of it?

This was the thing I was looking for

Cloud City

Sometimes I sigh longingly and say I wish I lived in a yurt. But other times I sigh longingly and say I wish I lived in a teepee in the sky. I think what it is though is that I really need to go camping.

Belated Birthday Present for Mandy

I love listening to Portuguese.

I woke up with this song in my head

A Sam Pekinpah flick with a Bob Dylan soundtrack.

Vagabonding in America

This is my new favorite book. Lately I've been flipping through this non-stop, thinking about yurts and bicycle trips to Central America...still gotta get a basket for my bike...anyway, now that the sun doesn't set at 4:30 anymore, it seems like there's so much to do. Gotta figure out where to get some cheap camping equipment fast, gotta get the backyard ready for planting (seeds started: check), gotta think about what flowers to plant as soon as it's warm enough. On a drive from Rockford to Madison with my family a few days ago, we talked about what things to plant, when to plant them, how to take care of them. We talked about making cheese and having birthday parties. The sun was setting in a vivid orange over that straight horizon line and the trees looked black. Then it got dark and my dad said "We'll just cross over the road and then we'll be almost home".
