I live in ½ a mil trailer park. At least, that’s what it feels like with less than 5 ft. apart from neighbors as the smell of anything from their house or mine drifts…and then there’s noise. Buses and cars zooming, motorcycles roaring, radios blasting, people screaming, people milling around waiting for the bus along…… Continue reading Barking
Not feeling it this year
Wasn’t the July 4th I remember
Been TOOOO long
It’s almost the end of June 2019. I haven’t posted in a long time? Why? Good question. Been trying to take care of many things. For one reworked the old website. Damn it! I used to half ass know Dreamweaver and I just can’t force myself to sit in front of a screen and try…… Continue reading Been TOOOO long
Zen
I was thinking about what a friend had said (and hoping I was high…Neil Young) recently. He said he was worried he was just wasting the days. He questioned his self as he was thinking he was doing nothing productive. Is he really into Zen and doesn’t know it? Thinking this as I’ve started reading, No Recipe by…… Continue reading Zen

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is almost here. Can I tell you how thankful I am? I’m totally grateful for everything in my life. I know that sounds hippie-hippie, new age, etc., but I don’t think we appreciate what we have. I’m thinking of the fires here. Big Bear in Santa Cruz Mountains (which they put out), Camp Fire…… Continue reading Thanksgiving
Is The Customer Always Right?
I was volunteering the other day. Three people suddenly came up at once to the desk. One volunteer took care of the first person. The older lady was hesitating and the person next to her was ready to go. I took care of that person. Thus the older lady started complaining she was there first.…… Continue reading Is The Customer Always Right?
Lemon Meyer Dressing
I know I shouldn't use bottle dressing, but its SO EASY!! Thus, making a salad with wonderful Dirty Girl tomatoes and cucumbers from Monterey Market in Berkeley I thought, "Hell no!" I grabbed Alice Water's, The Art of Simple Food II and started looking. Of course my Meyer lemon tree didn't have any lemons ripe enough yet,… Continue reading Lemon Meyer Dressing
