Almost nothing whatsoever, it was copiloting in the automotive sense.

Back at 'home' now, and that means internet via small phone screen...

Currently posting from the Buck that is Star-like, and I just so happened to run across this:

Never been there, never heard of it until today, sounds like a cool name for a band though...

I usually don't care for luxury and overly luxurious places... Give me a cabin in the woods, and I'll be perfectly happy...

Having said that, I have to admit that I was thoroughly impressed by the woodcarvings in that room.

As a young child my Mom was on the board of State Parks & Recreation. For some reason, either due to the State land down near the ocean, or maybe the care takers were investigating parkhood for Hearst Castle (I was a kid, I ferget...) we were given a tour of the grounds.

It's a strange-ass place, and that room has a 'presence'...

Hmmm, now where should we travel?

I know! But we'll need one of these to get there...

We're going back to the end of the 19th Century, to the Sutro Baths!
