Mariachis at San Diego Zoo HalGLOWeen perform 30 minute sets F/Sa/Sun at 5/6/7/8pm

Because nobody asked, my way of dealing with the crazy heat (when I can) is to run all my errands, work, and explore San Diego at night, answer all my morning emails, then sleep all day, until it's cooler enough to do it all over again. I worked at Bread & Salt on Friday and Quartyard on Saturday, but I had enough time after QY to visit the hippos at the Zoo since they're now open late on weekend for HalGLOWeeen. On Sunday I was able to sleep way way in and pretty much spooned my wall unit air conditioner until I went to the zoo in the late afternoon until closing. Not quite satisfied, I went to La Jolla Cove to finish cleaning up my van for my job this week, then visited the sea lions for awhile. When you're up late, you learn the late spots to eat, to shop, to fill up gas, so I did a little run of my favorite spots, gassed up, then decided to see the Mexican tall ship Cuauatemoc that was set to leave in the morning. The Port was an embarrassing mess of plastic cup and cans and food containers spilling out from every trash can, but I guess those guys work late, too, because while I there, a cleanup crew came to bag up and haul the trash...didn't sweep up or deal with the DIRTY DIAPERS I saw in gutters, but it helped some. (People are the worst.) 

Anyway, I had to do listings early this week, so I knocked them out on Sunday night and proceeded to sleep all Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday should be fun, interesting work days for me and then hopefully back to life's normal rhythms and weather.

Stay safe out there. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. FUCK TFG. San Diego and Los Angeles would be galaxies better if we didn't have that motherfucker and his mess dragging our shit down.
