Battery Mendell, Rodeo Beach and the February Blues - 02.17.23
What does one do to shake off the eff’n February? You know… the February… the month that no one can agree on how to pronounce… the month that is on the ass-end of winter, and the dirtiest of all the months because of the mush, and it still gets dark at 3:37pm… AND we ALL have had enough of it (even those that say they love winter 💙⛷️⛸️☃️). Enough already!!!
Answer: Go to the sea.
I’ve been lacking nature and forest bathing lately… must have something to do with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)… otherwise known as Shtty Attitude Disorder. Or I’ve been farting around the city too much…
Anywho, enough of that. I plopped here to be close to the ocean… and a walk by the ocean will cure a variety of winter melancholy abnormalities… and possibly an STD if it’s above 67° Fahrenheit. I think I read that in the San Francisco Chronicle… or it’s possible I made the entire thing up because I’m avoiding the excitement of packing up my Berkeley apartment once again.
All goes into storage, including the adventure pod. All but one pack and one day-pack, for a long round of me wandering through Latin America for a month and half attempting to conjugate verbs and use personal pronouns correctly in the Spanish language… it’s not as easy as it looks. 😬
I haven’t even left yet and I’m already missing the California… except I went to the food store today and the same coconut water I bought in Albuquerque the other day that was $1.99, in Berkeley is $14,000 plus tax, plus another tax, plus a mandatory donation to the California raisins retirement fund… What hell?!? What’s up with that?!?
California motto: “you’ll need a second job just so you can afford to get to your first job…and we have surfing too! ☀️🌊🏄🏄♀️” boop.
Oh well… I dig this place and I’ll pay up to be close to the sPacific Ocean. I guess I could fly to Albuquerque from Oakland once a week and fill my pockets with coconut waters and resell them at the Sausalito Farmer’s Market at a modest increase - to a grossly elevated súper California price increase. Mmmmm… nomadic life plan is coming together. 😎
Okie doke… I get back in mid-April… please visit then. I’ll cut you in on my coconut water side-hustle. 🥥🥥🥥
