Interesting perspective: it's sort of like synesthesia created through a cybernetic attachment.

Crossing against the light when no one's around is one thing. Brazenly sauntering across the street while a green arrow is directing a long line of cars into your path, then stopping in the middle of the street and flicking them off while they pass you as if *they're* the ones in the wrong? That says you want to show off your guts a bit too literally.

On the way out of San Diego, we stumbled on Better Buzz Coffee. They make their signature iced coffee drinks in cocktail shakers. Imagine a mint iced coffee made with fresh muddled mint leaves.

Discovered I missed a lunar eclipse this morning/last night, but it's just as well I didn't wake up early. (And besides, I caught a great one just last fall) On the plus side, I found a nice list of upcoming solar eclipses searchable by viewing location. August 2017 will be a good partial eclipse from Southern California, and a total eclipse along a wide track across North America. And J will be old enough to appreciate it. Road trip!
