Update: The co-worker was at work today. Her car wasn't in the parking lot, which is why we thought she was out today. She was out yesterday.

So I don't know if it was a cold or what.

I hope she is required to wear her mask correctly.

Since the cat's out of the bag so to speak, here's an early peek at what will be in the notes.

Hello, everyone.

Wow, Bruce, I never expected Petula Clark!

The weather frogs have really not been very accurate lately. 81 degrees today we were told. It was 94 when I came home at 3:30, the high was probably a bit higher. Is Covid affecting weather forecasting, too??

I went to the dentist today for a routine cleaning. All is well there. The hygienist said that their patient load is now about 75% of usual. They're getting a lot of cancellations, though. Maybe people are cancelling more because they're sick--hard to say.

The hygienist is from Ecuador. Her mother and nephew came to visit last March, just before Covid hit. Suddenly, the airport at home was closed and they were stuck in the US--for FIVE MONTHS!! They left a couple weeks ago. This was supposed to be a two-week trip. Talk about a change of plans!

I hope they enjoyed the extra family time.

Story to follow.

I've been working for a solid month to lock Petula in. Thankfully, it paid off.

And I'm so glad the other guest dropped out - now Larry can watch the show

In the mornings now we often walk up a hill that crosses the railroad tracks up to the top of the street, near the freeway, and then turn down into a nice residential neighborhood.

Air filter is in and it already feels cleaner - the other one was filthy.

Jane · « **Reply #163 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:20:52 PM »

If you enter the street at the top of the hill there is a sign that names the park that is at the bottom of the road. These days there is also a bright yellow sign that says "parking full".

Jane · « **Reply #164 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:21:07 PM »

Why a large truck went down that street is beyond us. And kept going all the way over the railroad tracks and partially down the second part of the hill.

Jane · « **Reply #165 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:21:19 PM »

Not wanting to go up the hill with the truck there we headed for the park. Of course we kept turning around to check on the truck as it slowly backed out, then stopped on the tracks. At that point we just stopped out of fear as trains regularly cross those tracks.

Jane · « **Reply #166 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:21:25 PM »

Fifteen minutes later, and more than a few scary moments, it finally made it to the top of the hill, backed into the cross street and left.

Jane · « **Reply #167 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:22:04 PM »

I found the photo of the truck on the internet. We had wondered if the driver of the truck was experienced.

But here is the BIG NEWS! The dental office is on a little back street, filled with small shops and offices. Very 1950s. Just a breath of fresh air. And today I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the shop on the corner, which is a larger space, will house an independent BOOK STORE! What?! They open later this month. What a treat that will be! Maybe BK can do a book signing there.

Jane · « **Reply #169 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:22:49 PM »

If we were "normal" people we would have taken a video and shamed the poor driver

Glad that's fixed. You should feel better soon.

Jeanne · « **Reply #173 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:27:13 PM »

Bruce, didn't you work with Petula before?

Jeanne · « **Reply #174 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:29:29 PM »

Do you expect Norm Lewis to be doing any more shows?

Jeanne · « **Reply #175 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:31:47 PM »

Oh, and BTW, what is happening to Vixmom? Vegetarian meals, VEGGIE BURGERS!! Smoothies! What next??

Jeanne · « **Reply #176 on:** August 18, 2020, 05:32:41 PM »

Stay cool, everyone, and stay safe.

TTFN.

Good. They do make a difference. As I mentioned before, mark on your calendar the date it should be changed.

Excellent lineup. Pamela Myers, too!
