Penasquitos Canyon PreserveCategory: hiking
Between LA and San Diego we stopped at Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. (e:Terry) saw a bobcat here. It was really pretty, despite being right down the path of a massive electricity transmission field that buzzed so much that it was loud.

Black's BeachCategory: san diego
I made it to the beach and I swam in the water, despite it being quite chilly at around 60 degrees out and windy. Still nothing is as cold as the time (e:terry) and I swan in glacier lake. That time I had to down a 40 before I could even step in the water.

I don't call anyone but family and that too in dire emergencies (so almost never). The phone plan was grafted on me by my family who probably thought I live in a war-torn strife-ridden battle-field where I would need to phone them every single day. But since I don't, I don't really call them more than 5-6 times a year. I use skype for talking with them every week. I hate talking on the phone. I can't maintain proper attention when I can't see the person and I drift off very often.
So the phone is mainly an alarm and weather device for me. When it is at home, it logs into my wifi and acts like any internet device. I use it as a camera outside and upload pics when I am in range of wifi.

Interesting.... See I doubt I would really call anyone very often... But it would be for mobile posting and like pictures and stuff like that.....

(e:metalpeter), I have a pay-as-you-go plan with no contract. :::link::: I don't have a data plan because, I just don't need to be connected all the time. I just took the SIM card off the plain phone that came with the plan and put it in a nexus one. I can access wifi points just as if I had a small mobile computer whenever one is nearby. But without the wifi, the phone works just like an ordinary phone.

One of these days I need to get a Cell Phone and one that has a nice camera... One reason I don't is don't want a long term contract and have no idea what unlimited plans are really the best... That is a great app though I can see...

Great Panoramic shots and nice beach shots.... Think if I went in the water ... Oh no way.... Not sure if this is true or not maybe it is until certain point.... What makes one cold or feel so cold in cold water is that the air and water aren't the same temp so you can be warm in the water and stick the head out and freeze?

Its been so long since I have been to a warm beach. I can't wait to get gingerbread sandwich on my phone and see if the panoramic mode comes with it.

A night with Sara in San DiegoCategory: san diego
It was so nice to see (e:iriesara) in San Diego. I think the two funniest moments were:
1. Sitting at a mexican restaurant where I ate the best octopus dish ever. Paul says: OMG our table is on fire. Literally the greasy chip basket got too close to the candle. Sara put it out but not before the flames were like 6" high.
2. Best misunderstanding. Store Guy: Would you like a bag for it? Paul: I never though of just using a bag to do it, does it work good? Store Guy: To put the balloons in?

Caesar's PalaceCategory: vegas
I especially liked this mirror.
I wish I played polo just to be able to wear this outfit.
I love shopping at the forum shops in Vegas. I was sad to see FAO Schwartz replaced by H&M.

Wow, I need to go to Vegas to just look around someday. Last time we were so short of time and running to catch connections to the Grand Canyon. It was so tiring.
I like H&M!

I like the 6th panorama image from the top. So cool!
