You don't need reservations to sit at what I think is the best table in California, because it is a humble picnic table in a state park, free and open to all.
All people willing and able to hike to the top of Valencia Peak, that is!

Where is the best picnic table in California? On top of Valencia Peak near San Luis Obispo

When a surprise snowstorm one night had me too scared to drive to work, my boss introduced me to the "Forecast Discussion." And I never drove again without it.

Mushroom we met today. 🍄
While I was filming, a young guy rode by on an electric skateboard and asked what we found.
"Just a cool mushroom," I said.
"I love mushrooms!" he said.

"Even attempting to dissect anyone’s brain to get to the source of their creativity usually only succeeds in killing any magic they conjured, so it’s best to just sit back and enjoy what they offer us."

Mushrooms I met today: A woman passed me sitting along the trail and asked if I was OK.
I said, "Yes, thank you."
Then added: "But I've been filming mushrooms for 10 minutes, so maybe I'm not OK!" 😂
