Last night, Christy and I went on a night hike with the Sierra Club around my ol’ stomping grounds in Turtle Rock.

There’s something about the smell of the cypress and eucalyptus trees, the wild mustard accompanied with the sounds of the tree frogs and the remains of coyote poop on the trail that bring me back to the days of my youth. Although, most of the area is built up now with it’s multi-million dollar homes and pretentious occupiers, thankfully they have managed to set aside a bit of land for conservations sake.

Overall the hike was about 4.54 miles – Most of it being uphill! I’ve got the shin splints and a blister to prove it. It was pretty much a non-stop hike so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as i would have liked to. Overall, It was a great evening though. I have a few pics from my crappy camera phone below. Next time, I will bring a real camera so I can capture the awesomeness.

‘Tis Friday!,  Footloose Friday that is ( I have to credit Schwartz Monkey for that ) Instead of playing “footloose” though, I thought I would toss in one of my all time favorite videos. Of course, this video covers an issue that is still prevalent; Net neutrality http://wearetheweb.org/. You might recognize the lady in the video as the “sweater lady” although, her real name is Leslie Hall and not only did she do this video but she has many others on her site that are worthy of a click http://lesliehall.com/
