sir grantus and i went to the beach at tuttle last night after work.
it was terrifying!

besides it being pitch black when we got there, there was also trees and branches that had been swept a good ways up shore from all the previous rains. so we hiked that and a stream of mud and then we were home free. The sand felt so nice and there were wild shrubs and exotic rocks EVERYWHERE!  we built a fire and watched the sunrise. Ah, love.

we stayed until i got tired and attempted to make a get away and were unsuccessful. After about an hour of digging tire wheels out of sand we came to understand the extent of our defeat and and stumbled over a christian camp and a couple of guys produced magical shovels from their pockets and we were saved! hurray! and then the thorny trees attacked the vehicle. and then then the logs didn't want the car to drive straight and slid us sideways, and then 3 huge herds of bicyclers almost trampled us.

and then sir grantus picked me wild flowers! and almost drove off the road 50 billion times. he also followed a woman who drove into a lane of oncoming traffic and almost backed into us! he jumped many curbs and ran two stop lights (the second one almost into another car).
i blame myself.

we are back at his apartment and just finished our showers.
i've got a long day ahead.
