Yesterday, Adrienne, Renato Golin from Yahoo! Brazil, and I went to Dream Machines in Half Moon Bay, and then drove down the coast a bit to Pebble Beach and on for lunch at San Gregorio Beach.

Grocery Shopping
California has a lot of freaks. I wouldn’t say that I’m the most normal guy in the world… but if you’re ever feeling abnormal, just move to California and all your fears of abnormalcy will subside. Tonight, while at the local Safeway, Adrienne and I saw the following:
- A drunk guy crashing his bike in the parking lot, then screaming and cursing at passing cars while he was trying (unsuccessfully) to get up.
- By far the weirdest thing of the night: There was a guy, whom we estimated to be around 35, with two girls that must’ve been maybe 18 at the most. He was taking them around the store and they were choosing food together. He was very friendly with them both, and they were giggling a lot. Sugar daddy? Nutritionist? Threesome? Father? I can’t figure it out.
- There was a homeless lady who had taken up camp at a table near one of the exits.
- Near the same exit with the homeless lady, we saw a completely done-up Elvis impersonator wandering around. He was cool.
- When we got in line to check out, the people behind us had spaghetti noodles and a container of sauce. We overheard the woman saying something like “should I put it up my shirt?”. When they got to the checkout, they paid for… just sauce. Spaghetti thieves?
- A guy renting a carpet cleaner, paying cash. Who rents a carpet cleaner at 10pm on a Friday night? A murderer?
Big Sur
Yesterday, Adrienne and I drove down to Monterey and took Highway 1 through Big Sur, down to San Simeon. Around San Simeon, we stopped at a Vista Point where there happened to be a large seal observation area, which was quite cool. In total, the day’s driving was around 350 miles, but quite worth it!
I posted plenty of new pictures in my gallery: Big Sur and Seals.
Skyline Drive to Golden Gate
Adrienne and I went on a picture-taking day today. We drove up Skyline Drive (Highway 35) and then on up to San Francisco for lunch in the city (at Lori’s Diner) and the Golden Gate Bridge. We then drove around Marin Headlands a little bit, and drove home.
Adrienne didn’t bring her camera, but I’ve posted my pictures for the day: Skyline Drive, Golden Gate, and Battery Mendel. Enjoy!
Hear, Hear, and Shopping Carts
Adrienne loves to rant, and Californians love to give her something to rant about. She especially hates it when people don’t return their shopping carts to the (nearby) return areas.
I concur!
