Alright Already!

I dreamt last night of sitting in the sand after surfing some beautiful and curling Hawaiian waves. As I sat on the beach, a beautiful young woman with a grass skirt comes over and hands me an ice cold Pacifico.

Ah, the sun, the rays, the smell of Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen, the crashing waves. Nowhere on earth could be better.

Just as I take a gulping swig, a big, massive man picks me up over his shoulders, carries me into the kitchen and throws me in the freezer. I sit for a couple of seconds in stunned silence, then I realize he isn't letting me out. I started to shiver and shake, while my fists pounded the door in futility.

Then, a muzzled beeping sound put my fists to rest. Cold and frigid, something was buzzing on the outside.

My alarm. I woke up cold and clammy. I left my window open last night, only to awake to more clouds and rain.

I go weather.com for the forecast.

Monday - Rain
Tuesday - Rain
Wednesday - Rain
Thursday - Rain
Friday - Rain
Saturday - Rain

I've had it.

I'm going to Death Valley Thursday night through Sunday night. It is the one place in California where I am guaranteed to see the sun for more than a 10 minute break between showers.

I'm not kidding. Pictures and write-up to follow.
