Happy Hour

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

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

"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."

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

Piper's day in The High Desert

Yesterday was my RDO and my day with Piper. We went up to Red Rock Canyon State Park to see the formations and colors. We also went across to Randsberg and Johannesburg.
Then it was down to Hesperia and the Golden Corral! She loved it!

Desert Ramblings with Sekrut Skwirrell and Department of Veterans Affairs.

I had to see the eye doctor at The Sepulveda VA ACC today in North Hills down below in the San Fernando Valley.
When enroute home to the Case de Sharon y Glenn, I did stop to get a few pictures of the Desert that is home.

The fire season has started a bit soon down below

There are wild fires down below as we say in the Mojave Desert. One in the Angeles National Forest and two in the Santa Monica Mountains above Simi Valley and Moorpark. We are getting the smoke from those fires up here.
I took some pictures on the way home from work this evening.
