Someday, I'm going to have to read this journal. A couple of hours ago I began writing an entry about something that happened long ago, and I kept getting the nagging feeling that I had already made an entry about it. But there are over 2000 entries here, and I have no idea which one of them it might have been. Since there is no search feature, and I haven't the time to go on a hunt, I just kept writing. But now the sky is growing light and I am nowhere near finished with the piece, so I'm going to have to put it away for another time. I really ought to keep a paper record of what I write about, so I can find stuff in here.
I am thankful that this night has been considerably cooler than recent nights. There's even been a bit of wind to listen to. Today might turn out to be quite pleasant. Unfortunately, it is expected to heat up again by Friday. Some years we get Oregon's rainy spring, and some years we get Southern California's balmy spring. This year there seems to be a bit of Arizona drifting in.
Last night, I channel surfed by Jimmy Kimmel's show while David Duchovny was on, and saw some pictures from a slash/fanfic site devoted to The X Files with which Kimmel was embarrassing his guest. Of course, I had to visit the site itself. It has very romantic pictures of Mulder and Krycek making out which, even though I was never a fan of the series, I found quite amusing.

I don't know how many branches of Starbucks are there, but it's a lot! Still, Bidwell park is much the same as it used to be, though busier, and the town has done a pretty good job of creating a network of bike paths connecting everything. It's probably easier to get around by bike than by car there. Traffic gets pretty bad at rush hour. I think the population of what they are calling the Chico Urban Area (which does not include Paradise, but does include the development which has begun creeping up the lower ridge) is nearing 90,000.
