Heading back home. I get why people like spending time by California beaches, and yet my main priority right now is getting Cassie back, followed by sleeping in my own bed tonight. I got a little lovin' from a middle-aged German shepherd dog on the beach this morning, which helped.
Last night a friend and I had a filling dinner at Jones. On the way back to the car we discovered a robot nest:

Millions of dollars in research and development went into making them adorable. It works. We found ourselves talking to them: "Almost home, buddy! Sleep well!"
I wonder about the economic prospects of both companies running robots in L.A. and Chicago, especially given how awful Americans can be and the propensity of Chicago to have what we refer to as "weather." We'll see. I don't live inside the delivery zone of either service, but perhaps I'll run an experiment to see if they'll deliver to a park bench or something similar.
Boarding is in 45 minutes, I have had second breakfast (at Chicago lunch time, though), and I am ready to be home. Updates as conditions warrant.
