Fire

The hills 1hr W are on fire above Santa Cruz, in Bonnydoon where wine grapes and lavender are grown and Davenport. It's tinder dry as always this time of year and golden. We have these fores that clear out vast acreage until the next time. I can smell the smoke on the wind. I kind of like the smell in a sick way...it s,ells like a wood smoke like you would have in the fall, winter and spring. Since the days have been hot, I'm sure firefighters are glad nights cool off. but the wind in up. Last year it was Big Sur, I drove down not knowing and was turned back.

I've gotten 2 invitations to join facebook...I'm not so sure I want to invite my world or give access to my yahoo address book so I registered as an alias, Jane W-Cavalli my avitar, just so you know in case it comes to get you I am finessan.

I was up till 4 and finally took another sleeping pill.Tonight I lasted till 9 and woke at 11.

Earlier this month I interviewed for a English teacher job at the alternative high school. Considering my sub experience with a10th gr. class I might have had 2nd thoughts. The questions obviously had to do with classroom control, of which I need work on. This school would be the last chance for those that didn't work out in regular schools, that may have low skills or discipline problems and need to learn a skill. It was interesting but not, I think for me. I could envision dreading each day. Not what I needed; I think there are better choices.

Lacey got her 1st semi bath today. She has mange or some kind of dandruff. She doesn't scratch it and the skin doesn't look strange just greasy and flaky. I'll see if this helps. Sure does smell. She did not like it but didn't put up too much of a fight. I dried her and she walked around shaking her rear feet. She was not too happy with me.

Tonight there is an outdoor movie in the square where the farmer's market is held.
Downtown there is a concert in the park on Thurs. evenings. I'd be more likely to go to the movie if it was one I wanted to see...take your blankey, jacket and lawn chair.. Night of the Museum 2 was not one, with all the kids, that I wanted to see. Give me Skakespeare. Or, another movie, there are a lot of cartoons I'd like to see.

I may make a blueberry nectarine cobbler. Too bad fruit has so mycg sugar. I live it but it is not on the South Beach diet only veggies.
