A nice 24-oz bottle is about enough for riding home - getting there it's cool enough that I don't need to drink. Which is probably stupid but in the morning it's easier if I just don't stop.
3.5 in the cool of the morning? One can get that dehyrated drinking a diet soda and walking up some stairs.
Well, I'm back and as always it was an interesting adventure.
The lady lived in a swank part of town in a gorgeous house. I asked her if she ate eggs and she said "Yes!" and I gave her a half-dozen of our backyard eggs. She was a classic Burkenstock wearer...which I have no problem with but just so you can get a mental picture.
I told her I was on my way to Wild Oats around the corner, to pick up some of my favorite organic granola. She asked "Do you eat only organic?" and I got the impression she was trying to classify me...fit me into a certain stereotype. Someone she would feel at ease communicating with. So I replied "Well, I eat organic when I can get it, but I like Captain Crunch too!" It so visibly took her aback that I almost chuckled. I almost said "Lady, I'm a square peg in every circumstance...don't bother trying to pigeon-hole me!"
Anyway, she was very gracious and kind and I gave her another five dollars to get me some more milk in the future...she said she'd pick up my kefir grains and the milk in a few weeks. She was really tickled with the gift of eggs and I told her our hens were pets and well-treated.
Now I'm going to make goat milk yogurt!
