As I have mentioned several times over the past few weeks, the weather here has been weird. It reminds me more of Ireland than Southern California. When I look around there is a semblance of Fall. That must be what it is. If I had not visited other places in the country, I may not …
28 years ago today, I became a father for the first time. I will never forget that day from the endless hours waiting for her to come out to getting splattered in the face with blood when I cut the umbilical cord. The doctor found that particularly funny. The nurses had to pry her from …
Photos From California Highway 99 Sandrini’s Italian Restaurant Sunday was a very long day. Even though we started off in Ripon, making all the stops we made turned a four hour drive into a 10 hour drive. We ended up in Bakersfield around 7:00 or 8:00 PM and we were hungry.

There is really nothing quite as irritating as waking up to problems. Especially problems that spider outwards to cause problems in multiple locations. Sunday was one of those days.

I swear, if I did not know better I would think I was somewhere other than home. I do not remember the last time we had such a wet October. My photo of the day for day 296 of Project 365 is Buddy’s point of view on another rainy morning walk.

Some things just do not mix well. You know, cats and dogs, scotch and orange juice, things like that. I am reminded almost daily that I should not bring alcohol and fireworks to the park. That is okay, I can wait on the beer. My picture of the day for day 294 is a reminder …
Several weeks ago an acquaintance began talking about a healthy grain combination he was working on. He asked me if I would be interested in trying it out, since he knows I try to take reasonably good care of myself. Yesterday, I received a sample of it in the mail. It said I was to …
Photos From California Highway 99 Merced, CA As we approached the border of Merced, the first thing I noticed was the red light of a Merced Sheriff’s patrol car on the frontage road along Hwy 99. As we got closer I noticed that there were three squad cars all dealing with one person on a …
