I don't know what happened. I finished cleaning thew litter, rose up from the floor and my left leg didn't want to support me or move. I managed to get to the kitchen where I washed the cat's breakfast dishes. I had no problem walking into the living area, but the first thing I did was to call Access-a-Ride and cancel today's trips. I probably should have just gone in to my appointment, but I panicked. I have to call now and rebook today's appointment.

I was on board the Victory Chimes when Hurricane Ike passed over Maine. We were in a harbor with several other clipper ships and Ringo Starr’s massive yacht. The weather itself was fierce and the boat rocked all night, but it was the wait that was perhaps more terrifying.

In the morning, we sailed to our docked and disembarked in the rain. The trip was over a day before schedule.

I am completely worn out from spending all afternoon yesterday at the local Bridgewater Country Fair. It was great to be there and to see people I haven't seen in a while and to walk around and see silly things and eat silly things and all, but it was quite warm and it was a LOT of walking, and I am done. Today I have things to do, but indoors, and I'm taking it easy.

When I was 8 years old - a terrible storm with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning happened in the middle of the night.

Our parents came rushing upstairs and took all 4 of us to the basement where we stayed until it passed over.

Another storm on Easter Sunday in 1963 or 1964 a tornado came through town but luckily skipped our street.

And then two years ago, another tornado came through town knocked down some old buildings in the downtown area.....they were finally demolished last year after valiant efforts to save them failed.

TOD:

The worst I ever experienced was in Lawrence, Indiana (a suburb of Indianapolis) circa 1981.   

It was summertime.  My parents were to visit, and I had cut my grass in sunny weather.  After I had showered and dressed, I noticed it was getting overcast.  It got darker and darker.   

My parents arrived from South Carolina, and my mom was very scared because the sky looked green.

We had a hellacious storm, and we all huddled in the bathroom.

Once it passed, we watched the news and learned a tornado had passed just a couple of streets over from where I lived.  A lot of damage was done, but we were just fine.

This morning has been hell. I tried to call Dr Glickman, whose office opens at 8:00am, according to Google, then I decided to order cat food from Petsmart. I entered my debit card and placed the order. A popup told me there was a oriblem, try again. I never got an order confirmation, but I now have seven approved charges on my card for $1022 each! The past hour has been calls to Petsmart customer service and the bank. I have no idea if the situation is now cleared up or not.

The news of course does their thing to panic everyone. Endless images of horrible flooding in "Southern California" only what they're showing you is Baja. I have seen nothing like that here or anywhere in the Valley. Some of the streets had a bit of water buildup.

I found it very annoying to open articles that were supposedly up to date info on the storm, mostly to find images of Baja flooding.

While not the worst storm, we had major clean-up to do in Ashland after heavy rains.  It flooded a large area near our driveway, and did some major damage.  Keith spent two days shoveling mud, plus he helped the neighbor above us get the road passable so they could use it.

Post by: Jane on August 21, 2023, 09:35:12 AM

Just as the road was finally able to be driven their daughter came rushing up in her car very sick and needed to get home FAST.  Later we saw the wife driving back out to pick up medication.  They really appreciated Keith's help, and we all appreciated the road guy rushing out to us.

The news follows the most damage.  Quite a bit was done in east L.A. 

Storms do not impact every area equally.  Major storms like a tropical one do cover more area than passing storm systems.

I'd say thank your lucky stars if your area was spared.  There are many areas where devastation occurred.

Ronan Farrow has an fascinating (and slightly terrifying) take on Elon Musk in the latest New Yorker. Top-level recap:

The meddling of oligarchs in the fate of nations is not new. But Elon Musk’s current influence on global affairs is especially “brazen and expansive.” As Ronan Farrow explains in a deeply reported story from this week’s issue (https://link.newyorker.com/click/32465754.1122412/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3eW9ya2VyLmNvbS9tYWdhemluZS8yMDIzLzA4LzI4L2Vsb24tbXVza3Mtc2hhZG93LXJ1bGU_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), Musk’s SpaceX is currently the sole means by which NASA transports crew from U.S. soil into space. The govern­ment’s plan to move the auto industry toward electric cars requires increasing access to charging stations, many of which are owned by another Musk enterprise, Tesla. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military has relied on Musk’s Starlink mobile Internet terminals for communications in its fight against Russia. “We are living off his good graces,” a Pentagon official said, of Musk’s role in the war. “That sucks.”

Farrow added that it is easy to become distracted by the flurry of strange news and controversies that Musk invites and incites. “For all the arresting details about him, say, using ketamine and speaking with the Kremlin, I was in the end less transfixed by Musk and more by what his influence shows us about the systems around him,” he said. “There’s a lot to learn here about the consequences of extreme capitalism and the way in which declining state investment in important areas of progress has empowered private entities to fill new spaces—with consequences both positive and dangerous.”

Good Afternoon!  Well, the kids are back.  It's good for what ailes you for sure.   Sometimes it's like there was no time between the end of last year and the beginning of this year.  We have very little turn over and just a handful of new kids - well, there are 24 new kindergarteners - and I popped in there this morning and they are cute!  I'll see them for music next Monday.  Today, I did a lot of tech admin things that needed to be done, and tomorrow I'll do much of the same.  I'll see each Jr High class for 10 minutes to talk about religion and music, and that's about it.  I'm off on Wednesday, then I'll see the Jr High on Thursday and then the rest of the school for music next week.  I'm glad the kids are back because then my motivation to get things done really begins.  It can be exciting for sure. The rest of the day was a quick meeting and now I'm with the the boys.

The weather in the Bay Area is very humid and sticky today.  It's been cloudy all day and it rained for about 5 minutes this afternoon.  It's also been gusty windy, so no bike ride today.  The ceiling fan in the apartment works quite well so it's not too warm in here today.  If they wind wasn't crazy, I'd definitely go for a ride, I love to ride in the humidity and such -but gusty wind, no way.

After the show, I drove through Wendy's and got a bacon double cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich (they're on their value menu).

During January, Wendy's sells keychain fob things for $2.00, and every time you go to Wendy's (and show the thing, if they ask), you can get a free Junior Frosty for an entire year!

The first time that you get a free one, you've paid for the thing!

And speaking of Wendy:

We'll need lots of wood
Need lots of leaves
Need lots of paint
But hush hush hush hush hush...

Let's be quiet as a mouse
And build a lovely little house
For Wendy
Oh for Wendy
She's come to stay

Peter Pan:
Home sweet home
Upon the wall
A welcome mat
Down in the hall for Wendy
So that Wendy
Won't go away!
