a white outcrop

It's another sunny beautiful day in CA in the 70's We worry though since we usually get rain between Thanksgiving and Feb. what is going to happen the summer. We still are on water rationing.

I like Wednesday and Thursday's when kids are gone by 1:30 and I have the after noon to get things done.

Things I wish for:
for my neck and back not to hurt
for my friends to get together more
for my family to be closer...

I will get up in the morning to go swimming. It felt so good to sleep in this morning.

I applied for a job today in Brentwood at a high school there. Brentwood is 22 percent Hispanic and 70 some percent white. It is a affluent enclave in the Bay Area. Again over an hour away, near Concord or at least they have the same area code.

Michael called to tell me that I couldn't just put a C/D/ in the drug store kiosk. He told me and I think I knew I needed something else. My assistant, Ramses says I need a cord that I have to plug into the computer. I have the cord because I borrowed one for a project and misplaced it and found it again after I cleaned out my car. I had already bought him a new one so now if I can find it again and it works, I'm set.

We've got a mini race war going on in Oakland over the killing of a black man by a BART policeman when he was on the ground. The policeman resigned but there are fires in the streets and vandalism going on. The protest in S.F. was not as bad, but the ones in Oakland were so stupid. The protesters broke windows, looted, started fires, rocked police cards, broke windows and into cars. It reminded me of the MLK downtown Washington D.C. There were a lot of section totally burned down.

It looked like Hamas.

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.

If you had only one phone call to make and knew you were going to die soon, who would you call and Why? What are you waiting for?
