Tahoe, squirrels, cars and stargirls - week ending Friday Sept 28, 2007



It rained one day. Lost gambling. Lost a mini-golf game. But had a real good relaxing time and surprising escapades on the drive ... Here I am smiling at the camera at Emerald Bay (aka Eagle Bay). Does this shirt make me look fat?


Car stuff: Smogged the Sable. Couldn't sell the Rabbit. Fixed a nail in the Prius tire. Jeep needs a bike rack ... still. Thinking of buying an EV light pickup Mighty Max from Matt in Capitola.

The Squirrel Incident: Baby squirrel that lived under the solar panels on the roof fell off the roof and landed right next to me(!) He ran into the house to escape (!) Chased him into back yard but he couldn't climb the fence or trees. Jeremi and I cornered him and trapped him. Mama let him escape (ARRGH! I freaked out. Not good.) Finally they caught him again and we took him to 1855 17th Ave, Native Animal Rescue center. The woman who casually took him out of the box with a hand towel seemed to be from another realm. Woa.

Simon's reading Stargirl to me at night. I read him a chapter last night in my 'Indian' accent and he was cracking up. Funny stuff. I'm listening to "The Fourth Hand" by John Irving on my commute now. Good book and getting better. Irving is just so full of imagination and his writing is clever but easy. He's Tom Robbins without the acid.

Next week: Tapping ducklings audition. Global Warming 5K. Power of Sound. Evans-Eddy Wedding.
