Where are you going in Yosemite, Tom? In the Valley you probably won't need a coat during the day, and it depends on what you think of as parka temperatures at night.
And I second what Perkins said about having an awesome time!
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Probably not, Tom. Layers, yes, and a warm hat goes a long way towards coping with unexpectedly low temps.
Speaking of planting things and not expecting them to grow (what? That was less than 24 hrs ago): one of my ubiquitous avocado-pits-in-a-jar has split and produced a bit of a root system, though no greenery.

OK mystery solved. Bean Pot is racist and awful food.

How is it only 2:26? Did somebody stop time?
This day is interminable.
Perkins and Scola, have awesome trips!

Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.
Just bear in mind that the cool-and-refreshing-sounding green papaya salad is flavored with blazing hot peppers. And if you see anything labeled "hot" or "spicy" on a Thai restaurant menu, for God's sake take their word for it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanna go somewhere!
Except, of course, how I can't. I would like to be able to, though. That would be nice.
My sister is going to be away for Christmas, which would normally mean I don't go home, but maybe I will anyway. But then I have no one to go to the beach with...would my parents take pity on me and come with, and would I then have to kill them? It's very hard to predict.

Green curry can be pretty spicy. But I highly recommend pad thai, massaman curry, and yellow curry (just make sure to specify mild, and not every place has it, but it's my FAVE).
DH's dad wants a new car, a used Mustang convertible, but they only have $1,000 saved up and have decided their kids should buy the car for him. They already have two cars, but the junker he drives makes him feel "depressed," apparently.
Um, WTF?? Seriously?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I always forget how much I like yellow curry. The descriptions in the menus never convey the full measure of yum.

Panang curry is of the yum, but I recall it having a bit of heat to it on occasions when I've eaten it.
Oh! Tom Yum soup is really good to get at most Thai places.
