I visited Seal Beach and found a label maker
Friday, I was finally motivated enough to do some chores.
I did a lot of laundry and little yard work.
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed the sky was looking interesting.
I decided to go to a different beach, Seal Beach.
There was no one on the freeway.
This is Friday, 5 PM!
My favorite seashell store at Seal Beach was closed, along with most everything else.
But the free 2-hour parking was wide open!
There were lots of people walking on the pier but no one on the sand.
A few surfers.
Imagine if all these clouds turned colors!
But, they didn't.
I went under the pier.
It's wooden and closer to the ground than the Huntington Beach Pier.
I made a video of this.

Catalina made a pretty silhouette on the horizon.
In the end it was another nice, but not very colorful sunset.
Later I was at home looking for a tool to cut plastic.
My dad opened up this junk drawer and, I found something cool.
The label maker I remember from my childhood, in the 80's!
I didn't know what to do with it at first, but it was pretty straightforward.
I even found another roll of tape.
A search of the interent shows they still make tape for it!
It's a little finicky.
Sometimes it works perfectly, and sometimes it doesn't advance at all.
While I'm stuck at home, I'm going to label everything!
During this interesting week, I realized I had not taken a vacation since March 2018.
I don't get paid vacations, so I find taking time off very dear.
Now that I'm forced to take time off, I'm kind of enjoying it!
At the end of the day, I learned that the church building itself will be closed.
The staff was keeping it open for people to enter and pray (at a distance) but now they can't even do that...
