Pdedse, that picture from the cliff showing the pier - is that a stock image or did you take that? That has to be taken near the glider port, yes?
Kinda pretty, isn’t it? To give some perspective, might be college housing, but Pdedse’s daughter happens to live in one of the most idyllic spots along the Southern California coast. La Jolla is just a few miles north of San Diego. The city itself is like the French Riviera and hosts a concourse-level car show second only to Pebble Beach.
My ultimate “chill out place” is in walking distance from the college, the Glider Port. This is a designated area along a cliff above the ocean where paragliders launch and sail around the sky. Each time I go just to take in the view, I start thinking that it would be pretty cool to try paragliding. That’s all I need… another expense hobby.
So glad we got together when we did instead of last night as originally planned. Yesterday I was in the saddle delivering in the Riverside area for most of the day. Temps were between 101 and 105, and by the time I got home and cleaned up, I didn’t last long before crashing. And Mrs. said I was a tad crabby…
And back to what I did on my other bike… I had some lengthy wait time yesterday in Riverside. When that happens, I occasionally wander down the street to Malcolm Smith Motorsports. Smith opened a motorcycle dealership years ago, and it’s a pretty cool place.
I snagged this t-shirt off the clearance rack yesterday. Can’t wait to catch the knowing nods of approval when I wear it to the next local motorcycle show…

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
