Sand dollar

Our last weekend with "The Other J", who's leaving California on Tuesday.

The four of us went to Sunset Beach, about 20 minutes south of here, which always has a ton of tiny dead crabs and sand dollars. Today there were two dead seals too.

Sounds pretty grim, but it's wild and open and one of my favorite places.

And nice to share the afternoon with all of us: The other J has been a great friend to have around - he's biked and paddled with J, laughed and eaten chips and ice cream with R, and come to the movies and talked books with me.

We'll all miss him.
