Reading Will's post about California (and what it lacks) got me thinking about a couple neat things that have happened to me in the past couple weeks which are worth sharing. A lot of you were around for the meteor shower that we saw outside together on the roof of Mirrilees. Despite the light pollution, it had been a real long while since I had seen shooting stars. That was a nice night.
A more awesome experience occurred while I was returning home to the hills the other night at about 1:30am. I was driving down the road and sort of heard this thundering outside. I rolled down my window and looked to my left and realized that a herd of horses were simply running alongside my car as I drove, and had been doing so for the length of the road. All of them almost perfectly in sync with the speed I was driving, and maybe twenty feet away. I stopped in the middle of the road and just watched them continue running. So fast, so much energy, and kicking up all this thick dust in the middle of the night. The whole thing occurring, mind you, in near total darkness as the hills don't have any streetlights. It was pretty awesome.
In addition, I've gotten out yacht racing on the bay for the last two weekends, which has been tons of fun. That'll get it's own post and pictures when I decide to post and wrap up how this summer has gone. Can't wait to see everyone soon!!
