at Carmel River Beach Billy checked his lagoon to see if he needed to sample it. There was a wedding overlooking the stormy green sea and a spreading of the ashes down the beach, a perfect day for both. We walked a ways, had a Fat Tire beer and sun chips. Later he went surfing and I took a nap, Simon didn't come home until late when the wind was blowing rain against the windows and fat racoons were trampling our roof.
