Ocean Mesa at El Capitan, Santa Barbara, CA:  Well, this morning started out clear, but then the marine layer crept in on little cat’s feet.  Hung around for a couple of hours and then crept away.  It hung out there just over the Pacific all day, threatening.  We drove over to the El Capitan Beach.  Not such a great beach, but it was packed.  Walked a short trail up from the beach and then back.  Back to our park and relaxed reading for a while.  I just finished a book on the history of Catalina Island.  What a rich and storied past and very interesting reading.  Had a craving for KFC since I hadn’t had any in a couple of years.  So, we went and picked some up, came back and stuffed ourselves.  Really good.

Happy Birthday America!
