And finished each of these. "The Apology Line" Podcast - OK, entertaining, although the narrator began to annoy me towards the end. And 5MEO - well, nothing so boring as watching other people waffle on about their trip, trying to describe what is by it's very nature personal and indescribable. So - overall - both of them get a "Meh...".

A mini-documentary series on Netflix about the Marijuana Trade in Humboldt County, California. Of interest because I know a lot of growers from here that travel south to the same area to trim in the fall, the people, I know most if not all of them, not them, specifically, but them the type, there are a lot of parallels between the regions. However from similar beginnings they arrive at very different outcomes. Well done.
With my Father in Australia

I'm with my father in Australia. We're in some sort of Disney World, or amusement park, and we're at a fitness facility, multiple stories high. The basement, filled with water, a swimming pool, deep, big, and I'm thinking it makes sense, because, Australia...
And then we're at the ground floor level, and there's a skating rink, and I'm thinking, "Hell Ya Pa's going to teach these Aussies how to play hockey..."
We're walking. There's a woman he knows that's fallen in step with us, he knows her somehow, and I'm thinking this trip to Australia, maybe I didn't I understand it completely?
She's trying to keep up with him, friends are joining her...
And there's other friends, on my left, I don't know them, and they're being joined by other friends, pretty, and dad is walking faster trying to outstrip them all...
I have this image in my head, all the maps of Australia I've seen, criss-crossed with red lines of the travels I should have taken....
... and now it's the world, from tropical islands off the coast of Africa, hot summer days visiting islands that exist only in my dreams...
(Weird, but not unpleasant. Dream places, that I recollect from dreams and so have that haunting familiarity, but no corollary in real life)

Last few days off, beautiful, still a bit chilly but the snow is vanishing. Sorted through a pile of my crystals and rocks to drop off at "Magic Rocks" kids house, some good specimens of Silver, Black Tourmaline, Fluorite, Quartz, the black tourmaline - looking at it, there are the streaks of aqua - I have to get back there this summer. There's too much possibility, it's been a couple of weeks since last I tried, maybe the snow is gone? I should lay a claim...
Talk to Chris, the restaurant will be opening...soon, maybe I have a week left, and I'm panicking. I need the money, for sure for sure, but - the hills are calling too...
Unboxing, the rest of Stormy's Scrolls, 2 hours to unroll, reroll approximately 200+ scrolls. The same as always, although he's got the phrase "Glittering Glory Hole", which I think is referring to the "Prospector's" variety of Glory Hole as opposed to the one seemingly depicted in his illustrations. He has a way of layering meaning in his pictures...
Today, to town to visit Dagmar, she's arranged an interpretive dance/movement class for us to attend. I'm a bit skeptical, the thought of doing all this with a bunch of 70 and 80 year olds isn't so appealing...fortunately at the last minute she reads my mind and changes it to doing some thrift shopping...
Whew...
And, for the moment, that's it!
