Meatless Monday: Mushroom, leek, butternut squash, and barley bake

Writer's Block: Every Four Years

I'm not sure it was "celebrated" - I was in Sacramento for a PFMC meeting, it was the day before payday so I was broke, had to decline when invited out to both meals, and went back to my hotel room to have canned kippers, instant noodles and an orange for lunch and dinner. Well, it was a Doubletree, so the hotel gave me a cookie when I checked in, as well. Whoopee-snort.

But I did go out and find a geocache that evening so I got a little "souvenir" for Leap Day on my geocaching profile. And I dropped off a travelbug I picked up in La Jolla, so it can travel farther. Unfortunately, I realized after I dropped it off, it came from Central/Northern CA to begin with (Sonora, which isn't too far from Sacto). I headed across the street to find another one, but it seemed to have been muggled, and the mall security truck came by and flashed their lights at me, so I got spooked and came back to my room. Probably just as well.

Dammit, it bugs the hell out of me that expensive hotels charge $10/day for internet access (which the Council no longer covers your expenses for) unless you go to the lobby, while cheap places like Motel 6 and the Quality Inn where I stayed when I was up there earlier in February, give it to you free.
