Just got back from vacation to the N. Calif coast.
MARVELOUS
Have a string bikini that I have wanted to wear for years. Actually got to wear it going to hot tub, and in the daytime, afternoon. It felt so great, even if it didn't stay on long.
Now that is a fun experience. And in tying up before getting out, I found it it's possible to tie up wrong and have twist in it. It was no longer comfortable, but short distance to rental, so no issues.
It was a private place, so in mornings, before really woke up, it's slap on a pair of wedges,and walk the dogs wearing only a padded chemise and wedges. The morning breezes are refreshing.
After breakfast, attaire was wedge, mini skirt, pushup bra and a sleeve less top with ruffles. Wife enjoyed me working on the fire wearing that. and I enjoyed walking the dogs for fivish minutes. So great to wear something like that out.
Wife saw how much I enjoyed it and was refreshed so we stopped at a consignment store and for $12 got a knee length swing skirt for the next day. Talk about being able to forget about the rest of life.
MYSTERIOUS
The last night I took the dogs out just past twilight and so only light was from flashlight. They are small dogs and the area was native grass type on sea cliff with about 50 holes. They were kind of like gopher holes, with closed holes and soft mounds of dirt, but larger, about the size of ground squirrel holes. So I'm out there with just flashlight and younger dog alerts. I shine the light across the dirt/gravel road and see a critter I thought was a type of squirrel. Tail about 6 to 10 inches. Bristles sticked out from the tail about 1.5 to 2.0 inches, but even length the full tail, not tapered like you often see. It ran on the highlight on the top of a horizontal tree like a squirrel and crossed the road to a tall bush across from us. Typical, but here is the mysterious part. It made growling sounds. Not a squirrel, WTF. Is this a rabid critter? How do I protect the dogs? The light on low power is only about 1000 lumens, and I saw no eye reflection. After 30 seconds of steady growling, I started to get more concerned. So I bumped to the next level, about 3000 lumens. Still no reflection and still no let up in the growling.
Well I didn't wait so long this time, surveyed the area better with the light and then went to stobe mode. That did it, in 10 seconds, quiet. I have no idea what this was and if we were in any danger. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Again this is coastal bluffs in the Ft Bragg area.
So there you have it. A super long long post for me. Usually it's just 2 or 3 sentences, but I hoped some might appreciate and maybe there would be some ideas about what the mysterious critter was.
