Today’s my birthday (ty). My partner’s gift was a steam train ride through the Santa Cruz Mts. We arrived to learn high winds made the train too unsafe so it was cancelled. We decided to go to the Bigfoot Museum nearby. It was closed. We drove into Santa Cruz for lunch but the place was closed bc the wind knocked out the power. Now we’re two hours from home & a wildfire is evacuating the neighborhoods around us. My partner just asked if I wanted to get a lotto ticket.
