When I hit Bakersfield on the way to Carmel two years ago it was 112 degrees there. When I spent the week around Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific grove and Salinas it never got over 73 degrees the rest of that week in the middle of August. I'll drive the extra 100 miles or so.

Bebop I'm retired and cheap. I'll stay at the cheapest Camp groung. All I need is a toilet and shower. Really, I'll spend the money I save on extra reeds! I've gotta sound good. I've been talking jazz too much. I don't want Scott to laugh at me.
