kaboom!
yesterday was fun here! (when isn't it, actually?)
Nicole and i putzed around the house for a bit and then went to help Joe with traffic control on the reserve - he had found "unexploded ordinance" on the lava flow last week and the military was coming to blow it up. we were out with other rangers and some police helping to close off the road, telling people why they couldn't snorkel, etc. for a couple of hours and then....ka-boom! we were about a mile away, but it was friggin' loud. and very cool. Joe took some video footage from nearby and it was, well, a ginormous explosion!
Nic and i ran some errands after that, including stopping at the store to pick up ingredients for enchiladas. i made 'em last night and they turned out okay, i think, despite the fact that it's impossible to keep corn tortillas from cracking in this climate.
today has been mellow - Nicole and i were heading out to window shop but she got a call to help disentangle a whale. i couldn't tag along, so instead headed to browse some shops but mostly just headed east and hung out near a beach and read for a while. got back to the house and Joe was home! we went hunting for shells and checked out tidepools for a bit. now we are both back at the house and no end is in sight for Nic - poor things (her and the whale).
looks like it'll be a mellow night - maybe watch some Psych (i brought season 2) and Flight of the Conchords. woo!
