June 3--"there's no 'n' in Cosumnes

[zyzyly]

It was hot again today--about 103 I think, which was a bit less than predicted, and we got a bit of a breeze after the sun went down, so tolerable. It's 83 now.

As usual, I walked early. I did a couple of circuits around the park, then did a couple around another park. It got hot early, but I had lots of water.


A bad self-portrait along one of my walking paths.

After my walks I got in the car and played out a big Ingress field that took me through three counties. It was kind of fun, and I did it, but the Resistance was on my tail and had it down about 5 minutes after I got it up. At least I got a screen shot.


Before (a very lovely field, but the wrong color).


After.



Here is one of the places I stopped today. It is a portal. but is also a place that sells locally produced olive oil, vinegar, and wine. The last time I was here I bought some olive oil. I bought a bottle of wine today. The woman remembered me.

This place is named after the Cosumnes river, which is just a mile or two away. There is a nature preserve along the banks that I like to hike occasionally. It wasn't until I downloaded the picture that I noticed that the sign is spelled wrong. There is one too many n's. It's Cosumnes, not Consumnes.

Anyway, I came back to town and had a nice lunch. I got home and closed the garage door, and the cables snapped, and now the door won't open. The garage door guy will come in the morning.

You are really having fun with this game. it gets you out seeing new places and exercising at the same time. You are correct that self-portrait looks like one of the fun house ones.

Look what came out of Rancho Murieta this morning!!

I've yet to walk the trails on the Cosumnes River. It's on my list ...

What is surrounding you in the selfie. Is that your reflection in the porthole of a boat?

The sign made me chuckle. Do they not know, or it would be too expensive to fix?

Over the highway leading into the Lincoln Tunnel there is a sign proclaiming "Welcome to North, New Jersey" then "Embroidery Capitol of the World Since 1872"

It is supposed to say "North Bergen, New Jersey". It has been there probably twenty years like that

The sign spelling is correct. see the link in my comment above. Also, if you enter the spelling on the sign into Google maps, it will show there are items with both spellings.

It does, although it is also kind of how I look, lol.

It is a nice spot. Particularly in the late fall when the migratory birds are there.

I will agree that the spelling on the sign is congruent with the spelling on the website, but the river that runs through the area is spelled Cosumnes.
