| Western Burrowing Owl Chick at San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Taken 5.18.21) |
Today was a beautiful day to go to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. And on the way home we got BBQ from that famous local chain that people love to hate around town, so I'd say it was a pretty good day.
But because we did all that and took the dog for a walk after, I don't even wanna tell you how many emails I still haven't gotten around to reading today but it's a lot and it's also late and I deserve a night in the speakeasy. So I'll keep this one short and probably bust out another post later in the night or early in the morning, because that's how I do. Stay safe out there.
