Coffee heat rising

Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Not to say Grrrrrrrr!

Thursday, November 7

It’s amazingly cold out there on the back patio: down to a bone-shivering 45 degrees.

😀

Dontcha wish you lived in Arizona, where people think 60 degrees is too cold to get outta bed?

At 9 a.m. — well before it, actually — Ruby and I have circumnavigated the park. The neighbors fall all over themselves when they see her: ooooooooohh!!! CORGI!!!!! Which is kinda funny, in a weird way. Tony the Romanian Landlord is out shortly after dawn, proselytizing: he’s become a Seventh-Day Adventist and wishes to spread the Word. This project has vastly mellowed him, to the extent that it looks like he and I are in danger of becoming friends again.

This never got posted…and… Now it’s a day later & a dollah short…and… Ohhh well.

Still cold here, but overheated in California. The news media, Masters of Drama, make it sound like the whole damn state is burning down. Got all worried about La Maya and La Bethulia, who are hanging out in their luxurious beach-side trailer home in the vicinity of Monterey.

They say, though, that there’s nothing to worry about: the fires are a good distance from them and not headed their way.

Sooo we’re told…  and…

Soooo glad not to be living there anymore…. 😀

Actually, when we weren’t in San Francisco, my parents and I lived in  Long Beach, the garden spot where I was born, lo those many years ago. That place, being mostly block and plaster walls and asphalt roofs, is not at all susceptible to burning down the residents’ ears.

Could shake down, though.

We had a pretty serious earthquake in SoCal while I was in high school. It sent us all scurrying under our desks. Totally terrorized my mother.

Looks like this never got posted! That’s weird. I’m fairly certain, in my senile way, that I did post it.  Ohhh well….

Another day has passed, and again the grey hours of the early morning are extremely cold. Uhmmm…well, for Arizona, that is.

My feet are frozen. The dog is starving. Neither of us has been walked. Need to get off the bed and start charging around. And so, AWWAYYYYY!
