So many things I wanna write about. The American Revolution, Barca beaches, drinking culture in Europe, day to day life, last day in London. And I don't wanna put any readers (all 2 of you) to sleep, so I should choose just 1. I kinda wanna write about changes. The only constant is change. No one can stop change, the proverbial steam roller. Ok, I'll create that proverb right now: Change is a steam roller. There. Happy? The trick is, when things change, it's either for the better or worse. (Cause if it maintains, it didn't change, right?) My whole London trip changed, even as I was doing it. I ended up only spending 3 days with the person I came here to see. But it was super cool, I don't regret anything at all. That person isn't coming to visit on my last day here. Maybe that says a lot. Maybe it says nothing. (Maybe that's what I'm afraid of.) I miss surfing so much it's starting to hurt. Literally. I met a lot more people than I thought I would have, hopefully some who will come to Tahoe this season. Sometimes moments of change are perfect opportunities to sort out fair weather friends from the ones that'll be there until the end. I saw other people's lives change. (Bitches, paws, riches.) Life at 107 Strath was and is a work in progress. But Iain, Paul, and J9 held it together. I hung out with Catherine way more than I thought I would've, which is cool. Did just enough travel to keep me happy. Can cross Spain off the list of things-to-do-before-I-die, which included eating paella, tapas, and drinking sangria. There're changes back in California, but I'll deal with them when I get there. I think that if you have the power to steer the changes for the better, than you have to fulfill that duty. (No, not doody.) I CANNOT stop listening to track 10 on the Beatles album Revolver. Yet the best attitude is: Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Dankie to Mary Mac(Donald) for that one!

Here's a pic from Carlota. I just liked the blurry and focused subjects next to each other. It's 0.167 seconds of clarity caught on film. Or maybe I'm just easy to please.
