lake shore drive was closed to traffic and thousands of people were running down the southbound lanes. we rolled over them on the bridge and went to pebble beach. the water is high and the pebbles are covered. only the canted and crumbling concrete platforms remain. i wish i had a time lapse film of the changes. i was sad and groggy from the discord last night that continued today. the water felt wonderful. me and mister were alone in the relative quiet. my sadness floated. it didn't float away. maybe i could have pictured that, a little tugboat chugging away. but this is the only picture i got. kind of odd for being the sole picture. a dead caterpillar that looks almost like life.
