Mar. 29th, 2021 09:49 amSo the trial of Derek Chauvin starts today. It cannot be avoided. I had it on as I started work today and they showed the video of George Floyd's death again. It is really so hard to watch. The inhumanity of it all. It is all so very disturbing and I am glad this man is on trial for killing him. I hope he goes to jail. It really seems like he should.
I am working this morning. Starting slow and pacing myself. Getting things done.
I went to Santa Cruz yesterday and that was really nice. I went with my friend, J***. We drove down at around 10am and got there in time for lunch. We hit some traffic on route 17 going into SC so that slowed us down. We got our favorite pizza at Woodstock Pizza there and then hit the Santa Cruz Bookstore. I got a couple of hardcover books that I really could not afford but that looked really good. I will share those later as they seem very good. I noticed there are some closed businesses in the downtown area there. Casualties of the pandemic - which is to be expected. That is too bad. Then we got our coffees at Verve and headed to the bakery - The Buttery and then out to the beach - the beach we went to was full of dogs playing in the waves - very fun. So all in all it was a fun day. We hit some traffic on the way out too so that took a while on route 17 and then we got home at around 6:30 pm. Not too bad for a day trip. I did not take any pictures of the day - I was not in the mood to. It was beautiful - gorgeous day and 70 degrees there. Pretty much perfect.
It was nice to get away for the day. We decided we should take little road trips and think we might go to Petaluma next for a look around. That is across the bay and there is a good Mexican restaurant there. Lots of antique stores there too. So that could be fun. And we might go to Napa for another trip. Do some easy road trips around here. Lots of pretty places to see.
Anyhoo. That is about all I have. Back to work and hope all is well with you there. Peace.
