I woke up this morning to a delightful fog. Unfortunately, it doesn’t extend inland far enough to be of help to the last gasp of our horrendous fires. Although almost everyone can go home, the folks on Palomar Mountain, where this historic Hale Telescope is, our still out and the mountain is burning. And yes, […]
I had some sort of an emotional collapse around these fires yesterday. I did get out of the house for a while, which was a good thing. But the constant news, which I seemed unable to turn off, felled me. Not badly, but I came home, turned on the air conditioner and went to bed.
This […]
I turned on the radio about 5:10 this morning – up earlier than usual to take a friend to the airport. Although the weather is changing and the humidity is up a bit, we’re not out of the woods yet. In fact, as the weather shifts, things can and are getting worse in some areas.

The fires which started in San Diego County Sunday morning continue unabated in spite of huge efforts. Although there are plenty of stories of individual homes, and sometimes several, saved by firefighters, the truth is, until the Santa Ana winds stop, we humans are pretty much helpless. Even as the easterly winds ease, and the […]
I was born in San Diego County… my kids were born in the county. I was just talking with my son; neither of us has ever seen anything like what’s happening all around us. My home town, Fallbrook, which is in way north county, is getting evacuated; Del Mar and Solona Beach - right on […]
Some of you may know that I live in San Diego. I’m actually in an urban community or neighborhood known as North Park – maybe a mile NE of the San Diego Zoo. Neither the Zoo nor I are in danger from the current fires – seven of them in the county!
I’ve lived in the […]
I guess so… and it’s today, according to Chip Scanlan of Poynter Online. He’d know, I guess. He links to the official site for the day which even has a meatloaf recipe, complete with suggestions about how to form the dish into punctuation marks. Oh my.
I do rather like the suggestions for how to celebrate […]
I have a vague memory of hearing long ago that computers would be come like appliances. I suppose that’s like the promise made even longer ago that we’d all have paperless offices.
These thoughts come because the Logictech Trackball I use rather than a mouse started acting strangely today. I couldn’t scroll reliably, nor could I […]
I got off to an 800 word start on the new ghostwriting project this morning. It’s a workman-like piece of writing, but far from exciting or more than moderately interesting, particularly considering the client’s goals of teaching persistence in business.
I read the piece, did some editing, knew something was wrong, but had no clue what […]
Does anyone know why so many of our cats come close to panic when they can see even a tiny bit of the bottom of their crinkle (dry food) bowl? It’s 9 a.m. here. MzTiz had her breakfast – about half a teaspoon of horrid wet food – a couple of hours ago.
She just […]
