...So, kind of just impulse-bought a roof-top-tent. We'll see how this works out.

Food things to look into: 1. smørrebrød - https://www.npr.org/2011/01/04/132627711/the-art-of-the-danish-open-face-sandwich 2. Need to put more things into corn tortillas. Of course meat, but what about some type of spiced/marinated chickpeas, sweet potato, charred caulflour. 3. Also think it would be a good plan to try some new dish every week, or every other week. I need some new things in the rotation.

I was sitting on our patio this morning thinking about the beautiful patio I will once have the joy of relaxing on. I'll be drinking my coffee under some palm trees, with some oleander and buganvilia. Perhaps a gentle breeze gently pushing the palm fronds. And then I realized that I'm residing on that patio currently. Sure, I only rent, and I don't have sweeping views of the landscape during golden hour, but why is it that there is always a push towards the next thing?   This current existence is pretty great. Just enjoy it.

Gavin Newsom announced yesterday that California will start making its own insulin. I would like to see more of this type of thinking -- liberal states stepping up and pushing forward with or without the rest of the country. It feels a little like my Coalition of Cities, where cities are pushing towards better things. I'm definitely ok if states do that as well!

Today we walked downtown, played at the park, ate lunch. But I was wearing my nice backpack that usually accompanies me on my adventures that last a day or less, and just wearing my pack made me feel like this was a bit of an adventure. Actually got me thinking that I should do some more urban trekking -- pack for a full day and bring whatever we need to explore more of our city and provide for some lounging and play while we're out.
