PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Construction Views

Last Thursday an interesting development finally happened at the plaza across the way from the Big J. The liner on the reflecting pool finally went in and water was added. By lunchtime, the local constuction unions really got into the act.
Notice the beach balls...
At some point they used constuction styroform debris to create floating ships,
Can you see the tugboat and the sailboat?
We all think that there was some scientific method to all the play, since that pool was known to leak in its earlier incarnation. Plus, all the floaties ended up in that corner. I wonder how much that "suit" gets paid to oversee all the pool activities?

Later in the afternoon the pool ended up a lovely shade of antifreeze/Gatrrade green.


What a lovely view!I'll post future development as they happen.

Ruffing It -- Guest Blog

Diggity Dog here again -- guest dogger extraordinaire -- reporting in on my trip with Auntie Nettie's parental units. Once they dropped her off in Las Vegas, we went on to California. It's a "ruff" life, being a travelling dog.
Mojave, CA
When life hands you lemons ... pose with them!

I miss Jane's Garden!

Party animal!
After a night on the town, a dog's got to relax!

Why doesn't my backyard have one of these?
Next stop ... Cape Cod!

Stay tuned!
