Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Earthquake

We didn't find out until my daughter-in-law got a text message from her mom asking if we felt it. Eldest Son and his Bride were in Cal City for a short visit while on vacation in Vegas. The niece in Oceanside did text Diane to say she felt the quake.
We then turned on the Fox affiliate out of LA and bingo! Coverage of a quake near Mexicali. The Imperial Valley city of El Centro seemed to be hit fairly hard. But up here in the Mojave Desert/Antelope Valley we didn't notice a thing. But it is California and earthquakes are a fact of life. Like tornadoes in Kansas when we lived there.
But all is quiet at Casa de Sharon y Glenn.

I was on the phone to Barb when I was stationed at Fort Irwin. I looked out of the window and saw the telephone poles doing a dance but didn't seem to do much to the buildings. With a tornado, it is binary. Either your house is in the path or not. With earthquakes, the damage is for miles and miles. MUD
