The Wild Mustard Calls to Thee

"I ate a flower and two tiny leaves," said the husband. "They were hot!"

That's what happens when your ride your bicycle down a country road on a beautiful day. You just gotta stop, get off, and taste the wild mustard.

The Back Alleys of Hollister: Brown Alley

This is the Knife and Fork's patio on Brown Alley. It faces a gorgeous mural that honors the agricultural industry. Imagine dining here on a sunny day or a warm summer evening.

The Flowing San Benito River

These days it is rare to see standing water in the San Benito River. But, joyous joy, the river is flowing right now. It's rather cool!

Shop Locally: Bill's Bullpen Baseball Cards and Comics

"Superman looks like Elvis," said the husband.  Kinda. What do you think?

We wandered into Bill's Bullpen Baseball Cards and Comics on a whim. We were glad we did. It was fun talking with the proprietor about the comics of yore and the 1980s Giants.  As we were leaving, he said to the husband, "I know where I've seen you."

It turned out that he was at the Emergency Room at the same time that we were. I wonder if the hospital's "ears" were buzzing as we commiserated about our experiences that night. We could've all used a Superman then.
