Gas prices continue to climb in the San Francisco Bay Area as the war in the Middle East rages on.
Are gas prices still increasing where you live?
My commute to work is only a couple of miles each way, so I will not be affected...

Of course, I will plant them in my balcony garden. And at Kaiser., my medical provider.,

I contacted Martin Guitars a couple of weeks ago. I asked them to send me some sound hole cut outs. They did so.
So this morning I am staining up a pair of cutouts. They will wind up as coasters, and I will either sell them for...

I have planned my route (in my head--remember those?) and am almost ready to roll. .
First stop: my bank. I will deposit the cash I have made from my...

When I was a kid, grocery bags were made of paper. They held up pretty well, and would wind up being used as garbage bags.
Somewhere along the way, plastic grocery bags became a thing. I think there may have been an era when you...

I cycled to Horse Jr.'s old elementary school yesterday, and brought my baseball glove and a softball.
I found a good wall and "played catch with myself," fielding grounders. It was good. My back did not hurt after, and my bad...

Kitty is sitting atop her guitar amplifier. She is staring at me and licking her lips.
I already gave her dry food and fresh water.
Can she know somehow that I bought her some wet food, and that it is waiting in the cupboard for...

As we all know, there is a war going on, started by the US, in the Middle East.
A major crude oil shipping channel near Iran is claimed by some to be at least partially blocked, though the American President says it is not.

The lady who has done my taxes for years has fallen ill. I am off to give Turbo Tax a try.
Do you do your own taxes? I wouldn't dare.
I hope things go smoothly. My appointment is in an hour or so.

How is your Monday going?
I am off to practice music with Hair of the Dawg.
We have a gig next weekend (this Sunday), so Jack may be a bit over-excited, but I'll do my best to deal with it.
Beer will be involved.

Some people get bent out of shape about Daylight Savings Time. I don't really care one way or another. I just dutifully set my clocks forward (the truck is next) and don't think much about it.
Do you have Daylight Savings Time...

I just saw a red squirrel descending the redwood tree next to my balcony. Is this a reminder that Spring is at hand here?
I hear various birds chirping courtship songs outside. The doves are gone (I don't know why), but the...

I just went to the grocery store and noticed that gas prices are up about 30 cents over where they were a couple of days ago.
I was wondering whether the US invasions of foreign countries would affect gas prices here.
I have to...

I derived pleasure from a small accomplishment.
This morning I put my dishes in the washing machine and pressed "play." Or whatever.
I think my dishes may be done
Do you derive pleasure from small accomplishments?

He's an adult student, in his 50s or so. He's been with me for a couple of years on acoustic (non-electric) guitar. His own guitar has been a $219 Yamaha 335, the one I recommend to "new" students. He said he would get a Martin...

I admit to being confused as to how our President's actions affect the cost of living for American citizens.
We invaded Venezuela a couple of months ago, and gas prices skyrockcted in California. No problem. You have to have a...
