Notes: I had dropped my parents at the airport and decided I didn't have a lot of sunlight to make the drive out to the Sierras so I decided to enjoy the day by the ocean.  Driving down the coast, I stopped and walked around at Mori Point.  

Lovely enough, California.  Walked around for a bit as I made my way down the coast, ending up at Half Moon Bay by sunset, convenient!  Had a veggie burger, it was eh, but the beers were nice.  The Bootlegger Brown was malty but still managed to be light.  The Oatmeal Stout was perfect.  The Chocolate porter was chocolate porter... In other words too chocolate.  Blegh to sweet in my beer.  I sat by the fireplace.  Seemed like a nice spot.  

When I got the check, I pulled out my credit card and a $20 to ask for change.  I wasn't really paying attention (yeah, I was fiddling with my phone..traveling alone and missing my boy) when the waitress came to get it. She came back; she'd deducted $20 from the bill and charged the rest.  Um, that's a really weird assumption.  Ok, I'll put your tip on the credit card if that's really what you thought I meant (and now that I don't have any cash).  Do people who aren't in groups often do it this way?  Should've said something but I didn't have a second to think when she grabbed it.
