I decided to take a ride this afternoon. Around the corner is a National Park, but even with that there, the drive is really pretty. (See the slide show for all the photos.)
So I called the Emergency Room (ER) and Labor & Delivery (L&D) and asked them if there was anything that might get me called in. After they reassured me everything was quiet, I let them know I was going to take a drive out to the Pinnacles, about 30 minutes east of King City. It's a National Park, with unusual rock formations in the middle of Salinas Valley.
It was the drive that I wanted. I have a friend who is a Health Evangelist, and when he gets his website up and running, I'll add a jump to it. But he sent some Audio CDs for me to review his content. It was about the Book of Revelation, it's power and purpose. He's quite a good speaker, and more of a friend. We occasionally speak on the phone, and just put thoughts out on the table, so it was unusual for me to listen to him give a formal presentation. In any case, this was what was in my CD changer.
The drive included some straight and winding roads through the hills and the weather reminded you why real estate is so much in demand in California. The sunroof was open, and I stopped occasionally to talk to the local goats, and a couple of friendly horses. The horses were nice enough to come by and talk to me when walked up to the fence. They seemed friendlier than most, and I reached over and touched their heads and necks as they leaned over the fence. Animals have this revitalizing energy. All of nature does really.
The hills were green, and the cows were out, though they left their usually odor behind. The trees spotted on the green hills and it looked like there was no city for miles, and definitely no traffic. One of the best ways to spend a Sabbath afternoon, if you're on-call and there are no friends around.
At the Pinnacles East entrance, I took my mandatory picture to give my family and friends proof that I was there, and looked at my watch and turned around again. I didn't have a National Parks pass, introduced to me by a good friend of mine, so maybe another time.
The Pinnacles didn't interest me (this time) as much as the drive to clear my head, and lungs.
I'm on my 3rd day of Zithromax (it's cheap at Rite-Aid if you have no health insurance like me), which I caved in to after 2 weeks of hacking up phlegm, and having a stridorous cough. I'm little by little acknowledging the fact that I may have some kind of atopic process going on in my lungs.
But the drive was good, and the air, and the sun.
Here's a Pano of the drive:
