I am sitting in my living room with cat whiskers on my nose and face waiting for the door bell to ring, for trick or treaters. A bunch came by early and now none.
Full moon outside. Sent all my flashlights with the kids so they could find their way and nto get hit by cars.
I am slowly eating all the candy.

I went to a grave side funeral for a friend I have known for a long time. She was two months younger then me. She struggled with cancer for 18 months and then died.
I had difficulty believing we were really going to bury her in the ground. I wanted to knock on the coffin to see if she was alright.
The family knew and were crying. I thought it was all a mistake.

It is so beautiful outside this afternoon.
I sat on a bench eating my pralines and cream cone down at the plaza watching people walk by.
so many languages on a late Sunday afternoon are in the air.
Everyone seemed happy, I wonder what is going on besides the fall sunlight. I wonder if it will happen again.

I knew what I wanted to buy at Whole Foods. Really I did.
But I got into a trance and drifted through the store looking at all the beautiful food, filling up my shopping cart, feeling so special.
At home putting the food away I knew I was nuts. Who do you think will eat all of this? I began putting some of the food in the freezer for another day.
How to stay grounded at Whole Foods?

The rodent count is now three mice and 1 rat and still we hear sounds coming form the kitchen at night. So the trap is up again tonight. We take our catches to the big park near by.
I wonder if anyone worries about this.
I don't want to kill them and fantasize that they will make a cozy home near the garbage cans.
But really what we are doing is relocating them into refugee camps up at the park.

Monterey Wharf #2 report
Clear sparkly October weather.
A bit of green appearing on the hills.
Fliers on the East Village windows announcing music events.
High tide,
Piles of sea weed on beach
gigantic celebrity cruise ship anchored close to shore.
small transfer boats running between the wharf and the ship.
Several long neck grebes floating by the wharf.
Two gulls chasing loudly after a sea otter
Benches still wet with morning due.

Met my sister for lunch in Moss Landing at the Whole Enchilada. While waiting in the back parking lot I noticed a pelican sitting on a telephone wire. That's weird. He was big and he was able to keep his balance.
The harbor was dirty brown and murky. An ocean breeze was coming off the bay.
We ate and talked and took a leisurely walk round the marina.
Moss Landing is only 15 minutes away but I frequently forget how wonderful it really is.

The fierce storm wiped out my electricity last night. I am using the library wifi to check my emails. The strange thing was that it was warmer outside then inside. Didn't sleep well.
The emergency radio station said that we would all be fully powered by 4pm. I hope so. I am waiting to see what survived in my refrigerator.

I got my flu shot today at Safeway, a store I don't go to very often. It was quick and easy. Now I am waiting to get my swine flu shot and I will be set for the winter.
I had no doubts about these shots,
I don't like getting the flu and I have a somewhat positive belief in the government. I should be more cynical but it is just too painful.

I started watching Ken Burn's National Parks show and had to turn it off. It was too beautiful. The scenes were filmed in their most beautiful time and then enhanced to the highest degree
It's a set up for disappointment when I actually go to the park and see it as it is, beautiful probably but not in the enhances technicolor style.
Photographs sometimes spoils one's view so I can't really see and enjoy things as they are.

I drove up and back from Redwood City today for an all day chaplain symposium. The wind picked up in the afternoon and by the time I was coming though the strawberry fields the newly laid plastic sheeting had been whipped apart leaving the fields in shambles.
The sand Dunes near Monterey were alive, blowing and moving through the air.
My new boxy car was a challenge to keep on the road. But I made it and here I am at home.

In that half awake state I saw the gleaming stars last night. Shinning through the skylight, bright, clear reminding me all is unknown in this world.
Yesterday I saw a root beer colored Honda element just like mine on the road. I had thought that I had the only one, but no, someone elses is driving a car just like mine.
