Yep. We’ve had it good. For quite a while we’ve been waking to a lovely marine layer and its benefits. Our weather has been the thing for which we’re envied. And we’ve enjoyed it. Now we wake…
Mentor-Mentee
There are experiences and situations I aspire to know in this life. Some make sense. I’d like to see Rome, Paris. I’d like to hike down the Grand Canyon. I’d like to learn to speak a foreign language…
Wrong Month
This is a June Bug that Mister saw and rescued from the pool. The little guy is actually a nice size – about an inch in length. His iridescence is lovely and I almost can’t stand how gorgeous…
A Fit, I Tell Ya

Put Up Your Dukes
I may have mentioned that we – along with our neighbors – are fighting City Hall. There are some shady developers working down the street, and some of their procedures (documented in photos and videos) are what we…
Jujube Fruit
Over the weekend there was a get-to-know-your-neighbors block party in our ‘hood. This sort of gathering is rather old-school, and far too uncommon these days. I don’t think we all need to be best friends with our neighbors.…
