Two different people I met today......while waiting in line at the bank - a Psychologist - and at the BP station while getting gas - a retired drummer from New York, who lives here now full time.

The retired drummer made mention of the amazing talent of the younger generation of drummers now.

Refreshing to hear positivity!

Put some shelves up today in one of my storage units where I keep some of my motorcycles.

Much to do and this will help!

Found these in the driveway at one of my accounts. Carpenters were there for a couple weeks building a staircase down the seawall to the beach. These are the fasteners they used.

Stuff like this doesn't surprise me any more after all the years in the trades and observing how sloppy and irresponsible other contractors are not picking up after themselves and even caring what kind of collateral damage they do on their job sites.

Mt. Shasta



Lassen Peak and co.



Those were yesterday and taken seconds apart.

An outline I found online.





This morning:

 

[Bazza]

Got some new orchids yesterday. All Dendrobiums!

Came bare root or in very small pots - standard procedure for mail order - so I re-potted them this morning.

One came with an intact bloom spike! 'Hawaiian Punch'!

Not _my personal_ window on the world but we got to do a private tour of the late Fr. Hesburgh's office at Notre Dame (my daughter is a freshman there) this weekend and took some pics of some great views. He was the president of ND from 1952-1987 and was responsible for a LOT of what ND is today and how it looks (they built 40+ new buildings during his tenure and became a top academic school). His office was above "Touchdown Jesus" on the top floor of the library looking down on the campus.

Here's a view from his office window over TD Jesus:

Isiah and crew at Discovery Whale Watch - Monterey showed us a great time on a sunset cruise. Unfortunately, I just missed capturing any of the whales breaching - one of them was maybe 100 yards away a couple minutes after this pic.

Some interesting detail on this one, if you take a minute to look closely.......
