Patagonia is on Tumblr. A must follow if you love photos of people having fun outdoors.
This happened up the coast in San Luis Obispo. The best part is that girl nonchalantly standing on a paddle board, taking a photo while a 4-ton animal emerges from the deep mere feet away. I want that girl’s nerves.
My first earthquake! Or, the first I’ve felt. Mysteriously, I was wide awake when it hit at 3:18am. Resisted the urge to go outside and watch for the tsunami to come up the hill.
GO, MAROON!!

The world’s awesomest gift pack arrived at my door yesterday courtesy Cypress Grove Chevre. In a nutshell, the good folks at Cypress Grove didn’t like the look of a wheel of Humboldt Fog I Instagram’ed last week. So they sent me a replacement PLUS a sweet selection of their other cheeses, a rad tshirt and a very nice note. As Rebecca said upon tearing into this last night, “thank you social media!”
I’m a big fan of Humboldt Fog, but had never tried their other cheeses. The Lamb Chopper and Truffle Tremor are delicious, and I expect the other three to be just as good.
Thanks, guys! Way to kill it at customer service.
Also, thanks to lacartaajena, the rightful owner of the original cheese, to Jacob for the gift, and to Shipyard Brewing Company for making the Smashed Blueberry that accompanied our cheese-out last night.
