Awake: 7:20am    Temp 56     sleep 6+56     mostly sunny     overnight @ San Diego, CA.

Our morning & part of the afternoon, was turning out just like a deja vu of Monday...until Kathy suddenly said: "Let's take a walk." I thought her legs might still be complaining from our Pacific Ocean walk; but obviously she remains the tough one.

We started by going out of the campground & around the Mission Bay area & then walking toward the Campground office. At this point, Kathy had an idea & I seconded the motion. "Let's talk with someone in the office to find out if there is anyway we can stay for (2) weeks longer after our month is up without paying the daily rate, (which is rather stiff," she suggested.

We probably spent a good (20..30) min talking about several ideas with the agent. All & all, I think we may have a deal...but we won't know for sure until next week.

We don't wish to start heading east too soon, or staying here too long.

Our interrupted walk was a good deal shorter than we planned as the pedometer recorded a mere (1.6) miles.

Dinner: leftover Italian sausage, spaghetti, filled pepper & salad.

Evening movie: "High Sierra" with Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Curtis, Arthur Kennedy, Joan Leslie, etc. Bogey is Mad Dog Earle, killer with a soft heart on the lam from police, in rousing (if not exactly credible) gangster caper. Lupino as the moll and Leslie as the lame innocent whom Bogart befriends offer interesting contrast. 1941. Kathy tells me it was a typical old gangster movie. That's right on folks.

Lights out: 12:39am.
