I took an early morning walk in the fog along the rec trail in Pacific Grove. The trail is divided between the bicyclists and he walkers with the bicycle trail being much wider and yet there are more walkers.
My sense of fairness started kicking in. I should complain, write a letter to someone. Then I noticed how beautiful the walk actually is and that there is really enough room for me.

I test drove a new Honda element. I am beginning the process of being patriotic and buying a new car.
I like it's utilitarian feel.
I like the safety stuff.
I don't much like the colors but I can live with them, all but the orange, I can't live with that.
I have to think about this and then Michael will begin the negotiations.
I wonder if I can have it repainted.
I am getting excited.

We had our farm walk at Earthbound farms today. Walking through the dusty fields, cutting snap dragons and sun flowers, digging onions, potatoes, cutting lettuce, kale, until my basket was too heavy.
I got home and washed the dirty potatoes. then I drew a bath to soak my tired body.
My toes were as dirty as the potatoes.
I couldn't stop laughing.

During the morning sewing class I kept thinking about a pizza diner tonight for the kids. At noon I went to Pavel's to buy the pizza and was told they were out. Now I had to think of something else for dinner with the 7 and 9 year old kids. I ended up buying hot dogs. They were not a big hit.

Went with a bruised and battered friend to look at the sidewalk at the sports center where she tripped and fell on her face. she was trying to figure out what had happened.
I showed her that the tiles in the cement walkway had been recently repaired with a caulking and how it grabbed at my shoe as I slid my shoe across the surface.
I find as I get older I am prone to falls no matter how safe the area is.

We're beginning a heat wave. Early morning walk on the waterfront. It was surprisingly busy. lines of men with fishing poles, white buckets with sardine like fish dying slowly, two boats being unloaded into plastic bins filled with ice. activity everywhere. People busy and excited.
Now I am home trying to keep my house cool.

Spent the afternoon picking up the 7 and 9 year olds from their different camps. It became dicey when I went to the wrong gymnastic camp. We found a phone book and was able to locate the correct center. All was OK in the end.
we watched cartoon for a while waiting for the parents. I am learning to like Chowder once I got through the characters all screaming at each other. Spongebob screams too.
Is this how the world looks to kids? I prefer some guiet talk.

Spent time again at San Carlos beach by the Coast guard pier. This time I was there in the late afternoon. I found a free parking place, carried my aluminum chair and sat at the edge of the ocean. It was like living in a beach house.
Then went to Papa Chevo's on Cannery Row for dinner.
I am now reading the novel THE ELEGANCE OF THE HEDGEHOG by Muriel Barbery, a recently translated French best seller. I do like it.
I plan to spend more time at the beach this summer.

I took an early morning walk on the waterfront this morning. The sun and fog were chasing each other. In the shallow water I saw five crabs moving around. Lots of star fish and even some tiny black fish swimming. Maybe the ocean is coming back.
Later I sat at San Carlos beach by the coast guard pier I watched lines of pelican dip and rise near the ocean.
The parking cost a dime for 4 minutes. I spent all my change for 35 minutes by the beach. Next time I will bring more money.

I took a bin of mail to the post office this morning, the Sangha newsletter for the summer. Surprisingly there was a parking place right in front.
The bulk mail lady said business is down, not enough people mailing stuff. Lay offs are going to take place soon.
So get busy write and mail your letters. now is the time to patriotic.

A bunch of motorcycle tribes are visiting this weekend. Thousands of them. Highway Patrol is having a field day out my Fort ord giving our tickets. I quess we are desperate for money in Monterey county.
At Seaside Beach colorful kites are blowing in the wind. The fog is beginning to disperse.
I am on my way out to water the garden.

Once again I watched the local Fourth of July parade with family. I went early with the other old people and reserved the curb space for the folks coming a little later. There were fewer people attending and participating, a sign of the bad economic times.
The sun never came out. The kids andIi agreed that it was a 14 dog parade.
We actually counted 14 dog in the parade. This was the lowest number of dogs in any parade we have seen. There was one old horse and about 10 parrots.

After leaving netflix two years ago, I reuped. It was so easy, they had my old list, all my information, just push a couple of buttons and movies will sent to me.
The question is whether I will actually watch them in a timely manner or let them sit around until the right time.
I am starting with the John Adams documentary that everyone says is great. I will let you know.
