Summer Stuffs!
Caleb:
I have not done much yet for summer fun.
The heat and humidity have forced me out of my non-air conditioned apartment so I have been jogging a bit.
I live near Plattsburgh, NY now so the area is beautiful and excellent for media projects. I just gotta get the camcorder out and stop being lazy.

On Wednesday we will have our first official picnic this summer. I'm so excited! On Friday we ate ice cream from the tub and some pilfered spoons in the park, but that was impromptu. It isn't summer til you've had an official picnic.
Also, monsoon season has started again. Yesterday it rained so hard I had to carry the cat inside, and today a branch blew off the tree and crushed the place where the car luckily wasn't. Yay for climate change!

It occurred to me that I haven't said anything really about one of the main things I love about this town in summer.
Every Saturday morning we have a farmer's market. It takes place right up the street from my house. It's is pretty damn amazing. Yesterday morning, I bought homemade jam, as well as organic raspberries for hellsa cheap. And there is always this lady selling awesome patcholi soap, and lotion. And an alpaca lady! Sometimes she brings her alpacas with her, but usually she just sells yarn, and the stuff to make yarn. Yesterday the artistry guild was up there, and they did felting, as well as spinning demonstrations. I love our farmer's market.
There are also all sorts of festivals. Which are always interesting.

Oh man, I used to live in Plattsburgh, NY. It totally sucked. I do like that Adirondak area, though. It's beautiful up there. Especially around all the lake resort towns and stuff.

Street fests are good except when they suck. F'rinstance, today my fiancee and I went to Taste of Randolph. We probably should have been leery of the $10 each to get in, but we were curious.
It sucked. It sucked hard. We basically spent an hour and $28 for me to get a so-so mango smoothie (entrance fee, plus the El, plus the cost of the drink itself.)
