Awoke at 8am this morning feeling quite groggy after 9 hours sleep. Took another 45 minutes looking at my smartphone to actually rise up and start up the new HP. Had a desire to eat some syrupy pancakes but not the motivation to drive off and buy some. Drove late morning the 55 miles north to San Francisco both weekend days to enjoy the North Beach Festival live music, freestyle dancing for hours.
There are so many others at these street events, especially young women, that as they stand in place merely rocking side to side a bit one can tell they wish they could actually dance freely, however there is always a strong inhibition factor for those without skill. For decades, the only concerts where people usually overcome that are a Grateful Dead group concerts. A secondary reason I dance so much in public is to encourage others and show them how dynamically exhillerating it can be.
I do like the North Beach Festival more than the similar sized Union Street Festival I attended 2 weeks ago. The North Beach Festival along Columbus Avenue is on a hill looking right down on nearby towering downtown skyscrapers with many fun narrow alleyways I come to know and small restaurants are everywhere. I left a rock set at 6:30pm with The Traveling Wilbury's Review with a half hour left because was worn down. Next Saturday 6/21/25 five bands are scheduled to play in Golden Gate Park at the bandshell I am likely to attend.
Enjoyed the drive home, maybe the last long drive in my 2007 Forester with 280k miles I'd bought used with 58k miles. Because I cannot California register the Forester that is due in 3 weeks due to no SMOG certification possible, have been searching online mostly at Carmax, Carvana, and Hertz for my next used vehicle that will be another AWD SUV in the $20k to $25k range. This glacier white 2024 Nissan Rogue S with 38k miles for $22k was a Hertz rental.

Think I will wait till tomorrow Tuesday and watch if something else shows. Need to remove a pile of gear from the Forester and dig out its Vehicle Title and after selecting whatever will withdraw a cashier's check from my savings account funds.
Also have several purchased Amazon items due in the next couple days including a Cherry (German mfg) keyboard/mouse combo and expensive new Zamberlan hiking boots.
