Notes from the road

[pecunium]

commodorified is heading this way to visit (We'll be trotting up the coast to show her SLO and environs). She just missed the eartquake.

She also sent me a note from the road.

BAD ROADSIGN

Visit the farm and zoo
Pet the baby goats
Roger the miniature donkey

(update)

It is estimated at 5.8, epicenter Chino Hills. No reports of damage. Felt as far away as San Diego.

Nothing here is damaged; dogs didn't panic. People didn't panic either.

Now I will go back to making breakfast.

Holy crap.

I went to the USGS. Nothing. Odd. What quake? Reloaded.

Wow.

yep, that one. I've already reported my sense of it to CalTech

Worth noting where that was. I hope someone gets a photo.

Good way to get kicked...

Isn't donkey-rogering slightly illegal in California?

Sign was in Kansas.

There was a moment of cognitive dissonance, when she sent a text saying all around Salinas was windfarm. Salinas, Calif. is only seven hours away from here on Greyhound.

Salinas, Kan. however...

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, Kansas is a different matter entirely.

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

See, it's in Kansas . . . so no problem. :)

Goodness me. I have no wish to roger the donkey. Please tell me that's an optional activity?

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

One can onle hope.

You do breakfast a bit late, don't you. I was digging an area in the back yard, here in Covina, for a late planting of green beans, and thinking about knocking-off for lunch when the quake hit. Almost sharp enough to knock me over, followed immediately by a brief rolling, then nothing, so I kept on working until the bag of composted manure was dug in & watered well. Not even the tall stack of to-be-read books fell down, and I've been noticing that it's tall enough to be precariously balanced.

Yes, I do tend to eat breakfast a tad late. One, I'm not hungry when I arise, two I get distracted, three, I often end up timing my breakfast to Barry's lunch.

That makes sense. I didn't use to do breakfast (except at Conventions, when it's often hits-the-spot food at some non-canonical hours and possibly two or three time in a day/night ) but going to the Community Gardens plot early (to beat the heat) has gotten me into the habit of c. 6 a.m. coffee (dark roast, French-press, au lait), fruit, and a Mexican pastry (at bit rich, except for the cornbread, but not overly sweet). When breaking the night's fast is long delayed, however, I tend to think of it as "lunch", and select foods in that category.

LOL on the sign.

I think my favorite of the day was the one for Toad Suck Park somewhere in Arkansas.
