Dog walks down roads you've never been down before while still groggy because it's early and there's dew on the grass and fog in fields but soon it'll burn off and the mountains in the distance will be visible and people will be coming out of their houses to commute.
A black & mild sitting on the back of a car, breaking into barns just to look around, sticking your head out the backseat window going down rural roads.
Local concerts with scratchy blankets and packed sandwiches and cramped sedans parked on muddy grass and the altamont fair with shitty fair food and NDE rides and fireworks when it gets dark and dust on everything because if it's not muddy it's practically a dust storm in the parking lot and the animals shown off in the barns are pungent and not at all masked by the smell of ribbon fries and fried dough and strange meat products.
Camping when everything is damp and nothing goes according to plan but everything just happens to work out and getting drunk in folding camp chairs and sleeping in sweaty piles in a tangle of sleeping bags and making coffee in an aluminum campfire coffee maker in the morning with bedhead and old sweatshirts and plastic sandals.
Cape cod and trying to catch fish and calico crabs and giant buried horeshoe crabs at low tide just because they're so cool and walking as far out as possible in the early mornings when it looks like the tide is miles away and almost no one is on the beach yet except for old ladies on walks. Crab cakes with lemon and ambiguously sticky tablecloths made of artificial materials intended to be easily cleaned and fries with vinegar.
Hiking and fending off mosquitos and dad's old baseball caps and polarpure water purifier converting undrinkable water into barely drinkable water and hunks of cheap store brand cheddar on pitas. Old model digital cameras. Kayak blisters. Dogs in canoes.
Hanging out at several houses in the night air and walking in the middle of the road watching the sun rise in the morning and crashing after that.
