while on my drive home from work tonight, i was stopped at the red light on river street and highway one next to a brand new white hybrid civic.  the hybrid was emblazoned with the bright yellow “clean air” stickers:

the driver of the civic opened the door and held a cigarette in one hand low to the ground.  i began to shake my head at the irony of the hybrid car driver smoking a cigarette as he brought a large mc donald’s cup of soda out of the car door with the other hand and proceeded to extinguish the cig.  what a dichotomous life the driver leads!

since the past few days have been so stormy, i have been taking solace in these pictures from our gorgeous new year’s day picnic.  living in santa cruz, it’s easy to take these kinds of days for granted:
