    My property tax bill arrives for the coming year. Thanks to Prop 13 I can pay it. Scary to realize I would have to move if the bill was too high.  I am now working class boarding on being poor. Fixed income, too old to work. But today all is well. sigh. We live in scary times.

     Also received my ballot for the November election.  I am voting for proposition 50.

     I drag the garbage and recycle bins to the curb, garbage day. The recycle bin hits a gopher hole and spills some trash. I try to pick it up with my cane.  My neighbor rushes over to help me. I seldom see my neighbors and when I do, I realize how lucky I am to have them as neighbors.

     I finish reading RUN FOR THE HILLS, a novel by Kevin Wilson. A charming delightful story.
