This is the stretch of I-5 that will be closed down by the DOD so they can lob bombs from the ocean into the barren hills of Camp Pendleton. Note the lack of alternative routes. Just for fun. On No Kings Day. Oh it'll be safe they say

I picked up a new artsy hobby and I am loving it!
I built some presses and take plants from my garden, or my surrounding area, press&dry them, then affix them to a watercolor bkgrd
It’s pure joy and fun and keeps me from stressing about the 🍊💩⛈️
