| We had brunch at Helser's on Alberta, a casual breakfast joint.
| Scotch eggs: hard-boiled eggs wrapped with sausage and coated with
breadcrumbs and deep-fried. I thought these sounded gross, but these
were good! (This place specializes in them, which is why we ordered
them.) Di Yin agreed, particularly liking them with the horseradish
sauce.
| Mushroom hash. I liked the thick cut of everything, including the
green onions, which you don't normally see. There wasn't much cheese,
just present as an occasional highlight.
| German pancake ("dutch baby"). Really airy (made so with lots of
butter). The pancake was good with the lemon. I preferred it to the
syrup, saying the syrup weighed the pancake down.

| "Bee's knees: grapefruit, pineapple, gin, honey." Smelled like
pineapple but tasted like grapefruit. Tasted like a combination of
grapefruit's acid and gin's bitterness, which gives the drink a kick.
Not bad.

|
| Driving south on interstate 5, we began to pass mountains.
| And fields too, of course.
The sky looks ominous, but weather
turned out not to be a problem.
| Cows!
| Lake Dexter, I believe. It's pretty.

| An offshoot of Lake Dexter I think.
Artificially brightened.
| Driving along National Forest land.
| A neat bridge-barn.
