“…this whole country…been hoisted up out of the Pacific ocean… We live about 6 miles from Mount Diablo… there is a few Grisley Bear on the Mount that occasionally catch the farmers hogs. There is what is called here Kiota they are like the gray fox that catch pigs and hens.” -San Ramon Valley, 1856

I used to stop for lunch at these benches while carrying the local mail route. I once took a phone call here while contemplating a job offer. Here I am again, today, thinkin and rememberin.

Being a pessimist here, but I don’t think it would end cleanly with just providing escrow. The entity would get dragged into the drama

We went to the show together
You rocked out & we liked it

I can’t tell
Dreams from memories
Any more

It seems common around here for baby’s first car to be a Model 3. The kid down the street drove one into a fire hydrant & house while on a provisional license. Not sure learners are being well served by that car

Something similar once happened to me in a relationship. Looking back, I remember and regret the level of frustration I felt and expressed, but it probably was for the best that it got brought out early. Nothing’s easy

One channel on one of my home-built amps is dead, so now it’s out of rotation & on the bench of healing until whenever I get around to it. Idk why this is so remarkable, like, stuff just stops working sometimes, but this particular type of failure hasn’t happened to me before. Like aging, I guess.

The founder’s son was filming footage in the office & lab all day today. I cope by coming home to dad rock & more beer & wine than is prudent at my age

Sometimes I wonder, if I could’ve stood riding my bike in the rain day after day, if I could’ve stood the cold & endless dark, & the chronic sinus infection, if I had found, whatever, something, would I still be living in the Pacific Northwest?

Which was earlier in the week. Maybe even yesterday. There were sections of slick, rutted mud further down without signage, so idk

The running water was hazardous, and you crossed at your own risk. Lol.
