09.09.23: Zippers

The fridge. It’s still a phenomenal nuisance in the house, and facing many more days before its replacement will arrive, we needed out for the weekend. So we kinda last-minute decided to head north, to see Tory and meet her horse Parco, at the barn up near Petaluma. And then we drove out to Guerneville, the main town on the Russian River. We glamped! We stayed at a place called Surrey Resort that has a bunch of platform tents (I think Alaska tent is the name of the style). Glamping is nice. They have a nice pool and a hot tub and there’s electricity in the tents. (Bathrooms and showers are shared.) And we had a nice fire pit. The tent entrance (and its windows) have these really substantial zippers that made such a satisfying sound. It’s the noise that stuck with me — and it’s SO. MUCH. BETTER than our damn fridge.
