Trials

Our final stop in California before heading north once again was San Francisco. One of the coolest people that we met during out time in Cali is currently living in the The City and pursuing med school. We met with him Sunday morning and went to the Exploratorium to exercise our craniums. To our delight entry was free all weekend so we did not have to spend any money to run around and act like little kids while we did numerous tutorials to teach people about the laws of physics.

Eventually it was time to leave so that Erik could collect cadaver parts for his research with the UCSF orthopedic lab. Talk about a good job to have for someone wanting to become an orthopedic surgeon. Erik's cadavers would have to wait though because upon returning to our vehicle we discovered that some low life shmuck had decided that our car was a good one to prey on and had busted the window to steal all of our stuff.

Upon initial inspection we thought that nothing was actually taken which would have been amazing because pretty much everything that we own right now is always in the car. As we thought through all of the stuff that was in car we realized one bag had been taken, my old school bag. The same bag that was stolen out of a car 7 years ago as Lane and I were mountain biking around hag lake. Amazingly that bag was found by a good samaritan and returned to me along with the majority of its contents. Hopefully the bag still holds the same karma it did 7 years ago. There was not too much of consequence in the bag except for jasmine's newly edited thesis! Everything else was minor stuff like a head lamp, pocket knife, reading books, etc. I hate crooks. Often times they do not do any damage except to cause a major inconvenience. This jerk-off is going to cause us numerous hours of our life to get things back to normal while getting no profit out of it. There was no cash, credit cards, jewelry, or otherwise valuable things in the bag. So much for big cities. In all honesty, we feel lucky that it was not worse but I still do not like crooks.

We were able to get the window fixed the next morning and we were off again on our way to Oregon. We should be there by Monday evening and then be working our way to Seattle via Ashland, Eugene, and Portland. We are going to attempt some more turkey hunting on our way north so wish us luck.
