Road Trip

So we saw this little article in the Sunday Trib about what to do when in SD...it mentioned a road trip to a mountain town northeast of here...so we got into the Solara, top down, and headed east on the 8...almost 2 hours later, with some of it very windey...we came across this far out, rad, cool, hip, little oasis called Julian...as we ambled about the streets and went into the many little shops...filled with whatever, but many things that were of the hippy vintage...Marsh bought 3 such things...kind of got us prepared for CSN tonight...more of that later...this town has the 4 seasons as it hailed big time the day prior...they get up to a couple of feet of snow during their winters...kind of reminded me of a less refined Sisters...anyhooo....their big claim to fame is their apple pies...and they have 3 main bakeries to choose from...that in itself is amazing for such a small town...we settled in at the Julian Pie Co. and had a 1/2 sand and pie special...without a doubt, the best pie I have ever had in my life...I had the original and Marsh had the dutch crumb...and the sandwich was made with real ham and real turkey, if you know what I mean...regardless, we bought a pie and took it home, yup, the dutch crumb...talked to a biker and said the route back was quicker going due west...how do they know all?
Wooden Ships...CSN is on the agenda this eve...I first bought one of their albums back in the late 60's or early 70's...can't remember exactly...and absolutely loved their 3 part harmony...'til this day...I think we have seen them like 7 times and can't wait...it's over at Humphrey's and is in the open air...coolish around here lately, so a jacket will be needed...I'll wear one of my CSN tees and Marsh one of her hip new tops...looking for a funky cap...it's been a long time comin'...
Dancing With The Stars...surprise night with Erin having a great night...Pussy Cat would have finished them all off had she not got the lift right, at the end...Olympian had an off night...the girl judge gave PC a bad rap on the her first dance...booooo...the winner?   Up in the air...PC or Erin...
Finally, the Batchelorette...wow, does Ali have a bunch of LuLu's to pick from...
