Over the past two weeks or so I have heard chickens making their chicken noises across the bike path from where I live. I like it. Chickens make me happy.
Some neighbor must have scored some chickens.

I heard there were to be some fights on the white house lawn last night.
Today I read that the fights had been cancelled due to the weather.

A week after my knee surgery, I have oral surgery. A crown came off, and my
dentist said they can't put it back on.
Next will be a lens replacement in my right eye.

I believe we just had a minor earthquake here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I will do my usual DD and then report what I felt to the USGS.
It's kind of fun to be a part of on-going research projects.

Thanks for...

Of course I miss Horse Jr. We spoke the other day, and he is doing well. He is 17 now and has his own pick-up truck (my influence).

When I jumped in,...
