2020 started out looking like a completely normal year. 2018 was a bad year, with Bob’s broken bones after a fall and Dad dying. 2019 had its points of interest, in terms of a kidney stone problem on a long RV trip. But I can’s say that I had any premonitions about how 2020 would…
Well, not quite that. It’s true that Oroville gets really hot in the Summer. My Accuweather APP on my cellphone has been know to say that the expected weather is “blazing sunshine.” It’s not Hell, but it gets really hot. Today, we got snow. This surprised me a lot. True, it wasn’t heavy snow, and…
We like to walk as nearly everyday as we can, and recently we found a new place for daily walks. We were doing a nice round in our neighborhood and nearby, but the dog situation around here seems way out of control. We like dogs, and we don’t mind getting barked at, but dogs are…
When we moved here from San Jose last March, we got a lot of dire predictions and alarming warnings about how hot and horrible Oroville was in the Summer.

You just look over thata way and there it is – big flat mountain that looks like somebody sliced off the top portion, probably about halfway down. We heard…
Do you ever – ever – do only one thing at a time anymore? I’m not sure I do. If I’m doing something, I’m thinking about something else. If I’m doing something else, I’m doing another something else at the same time. I doubt this works all that well, but I can’t seem to figure…
I work from a home office. Really, I do work from a home office. And that home office is nearly always some unholy sinkhole of cluttered awfulness. There’re stacks on stacks. The stacks have married and bred little stacks. About 10 years ago, the cat took over a large portion of my desk and won’t…
Most people have some kind of theory about where everything came from and where it’s going.
