–Took the 330i to BMW Monterey; traded it in for a 230i. Car salespeople are still jerks: I got a 15-minute high-pressure sales pitch on various kinds of insurance from the finance guy. Anyway, the car is fabulous, though it does have a fairly strong odor.

–Briefly checked out La Selva Beach with chips on the bluff.

–Checked in at the Holiday Inn Watsonville. Got room 319, same as last trip.

–Dinner at McDonald’s.
