You've Kept Him Alive So That He Can Die At The Proper Moment

by Rainier on Aug. 7, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Today is the last day of our little trip, and we're flying back home tonight. The weather has been excellent, hovering around 90°F/30°C most of the time. It's a little humid and some clouds, so the sun wasn't constantly beating down.

Last night, we saw Horrible Bosses, and it was quite good. We were afraid that the best parts had already been shown in the trailer and there wouldn't be anything left to laugh over, but that was clearly not the case. Good stuff ...

No big plans today apart from buying some cheese and visiting a local vineyard, so it should be nice and relaxing.

I Asked For An Army. All I Got Is You

These short vacations are brutal. Too much eating all the time!

Today we saw House on the Rock, which is equally fascinating and impressive as it is disturbing. Built by Alex Jordan, the House on the Rock is quite literally that, a HUGE house on a mountainside with room after room decorated with specific collections ranging from dozens of dollhouses, hundreds of guns, the world's largest indoor carousel and other creepy items (a pickled head, for instance).

Afterward, we had a picnic/BBQ by the lake, which of course had my undivided attention, and then dinner at a local dive bar/fish fry place. We're stuffed...

By the time we got back home, the locusts were out in full force!
