I am so lazy...crazy storms last night! Elkie update.

Well, in case you are still on the fence, climate change is real and happening all around us at a frightening pace. This never happens in San Diego, CA...and this is the 3rd since early September and I might add the most violent. 


Perspective is from the bay looking toward the east (which I live).


Many fires ignited, including a house where a tree was struck and a whole grove of palms near Mt. Helix in the east.

On a lighter note, before the storm Elkie & I got in a walk 'on the wild side' of Scripps Ranch. 


The neighborhood has really gone downhill or should I say "Hill House".

And while the temps were in the 80s, and the sky clear "where were the little kiddos at lunch time?"


Wishing all a safe, sane and happy season...don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.

    Jinx at Anja... I was going to say the same about the pumpkin pose by Elkie! And what a stunning lightning photo... did you catch that one yourself? It's crazy what climate change is inflicting all around the world!

      Elkie is a beautiful dog. I think anyone who doesn't believe in climate change needs to be examined.

Labor Day 2021

I d idn't even realize it was Labor Day weekend until a friend mentioned it Saturday night. A lot changes when one retires, and that's a good thing. Here is Elkie on 'strike'... Today I had planned to give blood at a mobile drive in my local shopping center. Iron rich blood, but my twice a year prolia injection for osteoporous is on the prohibitive list. One must wait 6 months, which for all practical purposes I can no longer give blood. Huge disappointment, so if my bone density test doesn't show improvement I will forgo future medications, stick to calcium and exercise. I am thinking that it is working though...my big fall was a real life test which I passed with only cuts and scrapes and bruises. Nothing broke.  I completed by poll worker training and report for set up the polls duty on Friday. Meanwhile, Elkie & go to the CCI Regional office for a training class tomorrow. Later I go in for an on-site interview at the San Diego Humane Society (2 hours) to fam

Come One, Come All

 Hurrah, my Elkie is bathed and soft and smelling undog-like. She is hanging by me post-dinner as I write this. We went to Petco, as I can no longer handle the upstairs bath routine. This is better, plus they do the nails & ears. Another puppy expense. And we are set here until Wednesday instead of swapping today. Pissed me off, but I am not upset with Elkie. She's a love. And I am excited that my Wine Guild club is meeting in person again July 21st. Schug Winery is featured, I know nothing about them. Tastings have been virtual since last surge (November).    So nice to see people enjoying wine . A lovely spot in the Sonoma area. I love vineyards, having grown up on a farm with a vineyard of wine grapes that we sold to the local winery - Franzia. I used to 'ride' the tractor up the hill and down as a child. Later my Dad pulled out the vines, leveled and sold the sand and planted with more almonds. Bought a couple of whites last night at Von's Market. Decided I woul
