I've never been a beach person - nor much of a water person for that matter - there are only lakes and rivers in the land-locked Prairies scoured out of the ground by the glacial action of the last ice age and the meltwaters of the Rocky Mountains .
But, I think I could be... Place name links like Carolina Beach, NC go to Wikipedia. Place name links like Carolina Beach use the local tourism or government website.

Bakersfield, California |

| It's cold today! Relatively speaking, of course, but too cold to sit around enjoying the sun. However, it's warmer further inland, in the San Joaquin Valley where the coastal cooling has less effect. The closest destination of any note is Bakersfield, CA . Bakersfield has very little going on on a Sunday, but we get some heat, visit our old buffet friend Golden Corral (unfortunately not as good as out east) and keep ourselves occupied for the afternoon. |

Malibu Country |

It's currently 81ºF (27ºC) at 2pm as I sit shirtless in shorts and flip-flops in TFS's back yard under the umbrella of her deck table. This is the second-last day of a little heatwave that's about to break on Sunday (relatively speaking, to the 70s) and I've taken to bringing my laptop out to the deck in the morning with coffee and the newspapers and CKUA streaming their radio goodness.
Last night TFS and I went to CBS's Radford studio to sit in the audience for a taping of the second-last episode of the first season of Malibu Country because I wanted to see a multi-camera TV show being made and she knows someone on the crew. An interesting evening, not because either of us are fans nor because the show is any good, but more the process and experience. Unlike the Ferguson taping the room wasn't freeeeeezing and we weren't badgered into laughing and cheering. Which is a good thing, because the show isn't very funny, feeling more like after-school tween programming than something for adults. But we were in the minority, or the rest of the crowd were better fakers than we cared to be.
I would have had pictures, but we were told at the parking gate to leave cellphones and cameras behind, which we obeyed, unlike seemingly everyone else in the audience. A couple dozen crew and corporate onlookers milled about the front of the set, with cameras and boom microphones and and chairs for writers and corporates. Everything was shuttled back and forth in front of four different sets as different segments were shot. We got to see Reba McEntire and Lily Tomlin do their thing, perfectly or not, a few times over. The whole thing took four hours. A little star exposure in Hollywood. |
