The Coast Live Oak

This is ALITTLELEEWAY, reporting from the western coast of the great state of California.  Here's what's going on.  20 Something and KHL? We saw them and they were delightful as all get out.  We're going to see them more, in the future.  Quinn?  Arriving tonight.  Seattle kin?  They're at the top of their game. Laura, Jay, Eli?  Update on the Terrific Trio tomorrow.  So far, this first day of break can be marked as one of the Glory Days of 2019.

The weather here is now rainy and chilly, but we smartly scheduled our hike to Sibley Volcanic Preserve for the morning hours. The Sibley Volcanic Preserve is one of the best places you can visit.  Every time you turn around, you're learning something new up at Sibley.  Case in point:

 Ten million years ago, there was a volcano over in this neck of the woods.  Volcanic debris surrounds you on this hike, including knobs and rubbly tuffs.  Wooly mammoths walked around long ago, and also camels. Come to find out, camels actually originated in North America, about 45 million years ago.  Then about 4 million years ago, camels up and left our land.  Walked over the Bering Straight and headed south to the Middle East and Africa.  CRAZY!

I'm dedicated to learning new things this week, and sharing my findings here on ALittleLeeway. We have no theme for the Hand Turkeys yet.  I'm thinking Turkey Armada might have potential.

This is ALITTLELEEWAY signing off from California.  Concentrate, friends, on doing your best and forgetting the rest.
