Tomorrow we go to Stanley Park
and Happy Land. Today we visited
the stores. The price of Spode
is too expensive, so I bought
cups and saucers instead. People
are nice, but I don't like the stores
at all. Will come home Sunday.

Sitting at the station with just
a little street light. Sure have
had fun. Loads of kids
on our bus. With a different
route past Redding, we'll make
Santa Monica 4:30 Thursday
instead of 10:52. Taking off now
into Sacramento. So long
for tonight. No light on the bus.

Yes, it rains here, too--drizzling
all morning. But generally sunny
and rain feels nice. Just returned
from the Pearl Harbor tour. Interesting
and pretty and sad. How's bowling?
I called the alleys here. Can only
get on in the mornings, and that's
when I'm busiest, before the day
heats up. I might roll a couple
practice lines tomorrow--would be
a shame to lose my strike ball.
