All in One Day

 Yesterday was the first of My Favorite’s two off. We knew we needed to take laundry to the wash and fold in Petaluna (yes, we get our laundry done on the road; it’s worth the expense). Which put us in Petaluma. Might as well have an early lunch. 

So we did. I highly recommend the quinoa and sweet potato cakes with slaw. I’ve also had the backyard bbq salad (but with blue cheese dressing because, blue cheese). He had the lamb burger and said he could weep.

But what next? Bodega Bay! Now, we’ve been here before but for various reasons, that was an odd trip (I was still in recovery from the Gallbladder Incident™️ and honestly didn’t remember a lot other than we’d been there.) Definitely time to go back.

Last time we were here, he’d gotten a Bodega Bay sweatshirt. This past spring, he’d been working outside, gotten warm, taken it off, finished his project, and came inside. By the time he remembered, the sweatshirt had gone on walkabout. But! We found the place! So we got him a new sweatshirt and me postcards from Bodega Bay and Point Reyes, where we were headed next.

$99.00

No, that isn’t a typo. Dude charged me $2/per postcard for $52. My postcards cost more than his sweatshirt. I was annoyed but whatever. Until we stopped at another place about a 45 second drive away and found them for .39 a piece. Then I was really annoyed.

My Favorite offered to return the others. Deal. Apparently, dude pointed to the No Returns, No Exchanges sign. My Favorite just looked at him. Said, “Look, they’re.39 down the street. We came in here, wanted to give you business, get a sweatshirt and some things, and you took advantage.” He returned the cards, got our $52 back, and we went and got .39 postcards. $11 including tax. Much better. And, My Favorite got a smoked herring I expect he’ll talk about for years.

There’s still more, but this is getting long. The rest of the day soon!

The adventure continues
