when i brought them lunch,

the AHS steel drum band was playing

{a bob marley song, no less}

somewhere between bend, oregon,

and crescent city, california,

i lost a hubcap.

thank goodness that arcata has

hirsch hubcaps

his hubcap shop is eye-popping

 and he juggles

 who knew hubcaps were this much fun?

ned & i had lunch at renata's creperie
{a crepe restaurant that used to be a crepe truck}

a big bowl of chai

crepe making

 my savory crepe topped with a salad

seen each other in over four years.
