So yesterday I rose at the crack of noon-- actually 11:30. And, like all of last weekend hopped in the car to head to Taco Loco #2 for some of the world's best breakfast burritos.
The camera came with me, as it will pretty often going forward. Whilst waiting for the burritos I wandered to the end of the parking lot. It was filled with prickly pear cactus. 20 bad pictures later I discovered that there were snails on several of the cactus. 1 bad picture later I had a shot of them.
I tend to crop pretty severely and that's what made a bad composition into a reasonable photo like this one.
Anyway, "finding snails crawling on a cactus while waiting for a late breakfast of burritos" kind of strikes me as representative of one of the gears Lompoc runs in. (The other is the frenetic destruction Janice manages to get me involved in when she tears down a wall to remodel. Me with a pry bar, a hammer and covered with dust and sweat is for another post down the road.)
Last night lying in bed, I blurted out -- apropos of nothing, that I was not having a breakfast burrito today. That would be 5 consecutive weekend breakfasts from Taco Loco....truly loco. Of course...today I had a burrito from Taco Loco #2 for breakfast. That type of thing strikes me as pretty typical of Lompoc, too.

Another weekend in Lompoc...2 more breakfasts of burritos. Nor, really -- don't have a problem; I can quit any time I want. I swear.

The streak ended. Saturday was the usual. Plus, I tried a few bites of a chorizo burrito -- that didn't work for me. (I prefer Spanish chorizo to Mexican and good Linguica to either.) But Sunday was just Burger King drive through as we ran errands. Oh, that we had chosen to keep the streak alive...Silicic's streak is in tact; she had the left over chorizo one later Sunday.

The pace of Lompoc is slow and steady - it's my pace that's often frenetic :)
