Brownie

So Whitey, the horse in the field on my back fence line, has left along with the Noah's Ark of Llamas next door. However, they have been replaced with Brownie, a new horse. Of course, my dogs Louie has taken an instance dislike to Brownie and has decided the best time to take this up with him is 4:30 AM in the morning. In Brownie's favor, he appears to be giving Louie it all back through fairly loud whinnies.

Killing some time yesterday in Auburn, CA, I decided to take Brian to the Foresthill Bridge. As you can tell from the picture, the bridge is the highest in California and was created to bridge the Auburn Confluence Lake. The only problem there being is that the Auburn Confluence was never created, out of fear of seismic problems with the dam and incredible cost overruns. This is a good thing, since the confluence area has some incredible hiking and biking trails. In any event, the bridge sits here, high over the Auburn valley. Some views from the bridge here and here.

In my whirlwind tour of the Humboldt nightlife, I've hit upon the Lost Coast Brewery as my dinner spot. I've had their beer before and their food isn't half bad. However, due to the Humboldt State Uni influence, I appear to be the only man here without a full beard and pipe.

Arcata has a starbucks that rivals Brian's Cup O Joe. Apparently Humboldt has their priority squarely in line.
