The Union is picketing ...again

Teachers are all in arms about the cuts in education money. Last night they lines El Camino Real with signs to protest. On Wed there was a meeting that was tense. The high school teachers are more erudite. They came armed with facts. The middle school teachers complained that they were not listened to and given the facts and the elementary teachers sang a song " Where has all the money gone" It was embarrassing. Today everyone is wearing their $2 T shits to support no cuts.

I have one on that says Cuts hurt with a picture of a 6 y.o. boy.

I actually got out and watered my poor deck plants a little. I've left them for 3 weeks and most are so dry they gave up the ghost.

I didn't do all of them.

I need to cut my grass too. The gardener is coming.

Tomorrow Micky D's is giving away a chicken sandwich with the purchase of a med. drink Go get yours for Breakfast or lunch.
I found cherries in the store.

On the weekend I stay up and read sometimes until 8 in the morning then sleep until 1. I found out this week that the market closes at 1 so I showed up at 12:55 and got nothing. The farmers market has spring peas. I ended up getting some water, a few things like a sandwich of turkey with cranberry for lunch/breakfast and one of ham and swiss for dinner and a baguette from Le Boulengarie.

Apricots are coming out soon too. I love them.

This is the nice time in CA

I just need some rain. Ever read Rachael Carson's

Silent Spring

Water rationing went into effect in the north bay since we have the lowest levels in 20 years. Those were the day when the signs said don't flush if it's liquid and restaurants didn't bring water unless you asked. Families are limited to 100 gal. a day. Since a toilet flush is 2-4 gal, a wash 10-30, a shower for 10 min 30 gal and dishes in the dishwasher 40. It will be a challenge. No washing off driveways, washing cars without a cut off valve....
