Rain all the way to Redding!

[learnteach]

Left Vancouver and headed for the border. 1 hour wait in Peace Park, which had lots of people playing. Got quizzed for lack of passport at the border; they're enforcing more. Day was beautiful. Pulled out cell ...waitaminit. Not in tankbag, not in pants pockets, not in jacket, not in outer luggage pockets...last seen next to computer in Vancouver. Called from payphone in Blaine? (whatever that city is). Yep. Next to computer in Vancouver. So....no cell phone, as I didn't feel like going through customs twice more.

Back down to Seattle; straight out ride. Gas is up to $2.40; good to be on a bike.

Total miles on bike: 2800 for this trip.

Rain in Seattle, just started. Back bag soaked, so will need to dry it for the clothes. Have a lunch date, then start heading south. Reminded by comment in selkiediver journal, time to get off the slab, spent waaaaaaaay too much time on it. It's rain all the way to Redding, so might as well go slow and enjoy what I can. Therefor, plan short rides--Washington today, Oregon to Chico tomorrow??, home on Thursday? All subject to change.

Need to plan and implement gardens. Need to make sure tomatoes live (perhaps use methods from VanHelsing the ActionAdventureSeries?)

Thinking of starting second livejournal to record fighting only thoughts in; have had a bunch of them.

Strangely enough, am leaving behind (in Seattle) about 5 people who I would like to see but don't want to hang around in the rain to see...Or, more importantly, don't want to be so unprepared. Want ARMOR. Want WORKOUT CLOTHES. Want ADDRESS BOOK AND CALENDAR. Want INFLATABLE BED. (what was slept on in Vancouver.) Want to GO BACK AND SEE MORE PEOPLE.

SO plan A is to come back up, see Gerhard V. Nordflammen, take in Victoria and Butchart, teach basic polearm, take in a Bellatrix class, head south to war after adventures in WA.

Plan B is to do the same then go to Clinton end of July.

Plan C: In Seattle, see a buncha people.

I personally don't recommend the VanHelsing school of Growing Things, but then again, I was never much into electrocution... And where are you going to find a werewolf this time of year?

You don't need a Werewolf;

you need a Frankenstien dude. Between the research at Stanford (and their energy source aka SLAC) and the fact that the artificial brain is so improved in the Silicon Valley, I should be able to get a basic setup for the tomatoes. Especially with Brothers Louigi and Wolfman to assist!

BWAHAHAHAHA! THE SALSA (and Bruschetta) of LIFE!

Now I have a rather unfortunate vision of glowing green Killer Tomatoes with neck elctrodes *shudder*.

Radioactive!

Tomatoes!

You bring the X-rays, I'll bring the Halfnium, we'll fix tomatoes.

Tim the tool guy sez: "I think we need more power."

Oh yeah.
