We found it

We're in the wilds of Eureka for the next few days, spending Thanksgiving with my dad. The drive up was surprisingly free of traffic problems; and the weather was beautiful. We had a bit of extra time so we drove along the Avenue of the Giants, which bonacorsi had never done.

We stopped in Healdsburg for lunch and ended up eating at an old tacqueria across the street from a police station. We figured that if it had been there that long, it was probably okay. The food was fine - nothing special, but we live in the land of good tacquerias so we may be spoiled.

The bed & breakfast seems nice; breakfast is in half an hour. Yes, I lugged the laptop along just in case they have wireless (which they do). Now I don't have to put aside my internets for several days.

"I'm coming, Elizabeth!" as a way to get out of paying the check

Nice fish dinner with dad. He comes here every year, so he's scouted out many of the restaurants and has his favorites.

The ending of dinner, though, was a little more... exciting than planned.

We were finishing up. Dad lost his train of thought mid-sentence, lost color in his face, and slumped face-first to the table. When he didn't respond, the restaurant called the paramedics. Shortly thereafter he recovered and was fine... until it happened again.

The paramedics arrived, gave him oxygen, and had him lie down. We persuaded him to go to the hospital for tests ("But I don't want to be a bother!"). It turns out that he had given blood that morning and then didn't drink any water with dinner while having a couple glasses of wine - basically he fainted from low blood pressure. Fortunately not serious, but no biscuit.

It could have been a lot worse. Thanks giving, indeed.

Edited to add: (No, we didn't skip out on the check.)
