    Ten thousand people show up for the no king rally by the beach in Monterey. I wonder where they all parked and what about bathrooms, food, benches.  I search the facebook images to see how it is handled. I am sure there was a lot of invisible work done by the organizers. I have to stay at home.

     My roommate plants sunflower seeds along the back fence.  Potential tall gorgeous sun flowers. The potato patch is filling up with green plants. During the day I look over the deck railing to see what is growing. Lots of patches of turned earth amidst the brown grasses.

     The tall man brings me a home made dinner with meat and mushrooms.  He is checking on my fickle esophagus. After each meal I smile, grateful for the ability to swallow easily.

      We watch another episode of the madcap show DEADLOCH.  I am looking for a written summery of what the show is really about. And I spend a lot of the day reading FIRESTORM by Jacob Soboroff. I am curious how the fire response team makes decisions and fight fires. I am afraid of fire storms. And fire season is starting here.
