Flooding

Wiper blades will have to wait. The bay bridge shut down when a semi flipped; towns evacuated, streets flooded and trees are down. I still can't get CBS or ABC. wind is playing havoc on NBC transmission in audio. They are asking for a voluntary reduction in in electricity.
Lawn chairs and other debris are flowed into the creeks. Boulders and hillsides are moving. There has been one death. Not seen since the 50's. 5 inches is more than we need in a 12 hr. period. I didn't water. I was waiting for this and some of my plants are coming alive again.

I guess I should have cleaned gutters and screened them. I had that done a few years ago.
My neighbor says I have to cut my trees because they have shallow roots. They are over 100 ft. high. I have 12. My trimming was not enough.

Diablo needs a dry place. He is lying in the leaves under a bush getting rained on. I'm tempted to leave the side door cracked or put a bin out for him.

Then we had an earthquake, fortunately not as big as the one 20 yrs. ago.

The one opening for a librarian is for Compton, rated the most dangerous place in America.

I went to bed at 8 a.m. and was up at 3 to go to the library. Yesterday too. I need to flip my schedule again, but I gravitate to the night.

There is a .60 p.t. English position in San Ramon. I wonder if that would pay into the state retirement system.
It's 2 or 3 hrs. N.

The giant pumpkin weighed in from IA at 545 lbs.



I'm investigating an antenna booster to see if that is what I need to pick up all the mussing channels.
Right after the digital conversion there were a lot of 9.99 offers. I saved them.

I'm going to make some butter nut squash soup. I need to get some yogurt to add.
I need a blender, the food processor is not fine enough. I also need to get a spaghetti squash to take the place of pasta.

I ordered a new Cuisinart work bowl and in 30 yrs. I wore the other one out.

I need a chicken too to make chicken broth. did you know canned has over 559 mg. in the reduced salt variety. I can control the salt if I make it.

Whole Dad was here with me after he got out of the Pritikib prohram we made a soup a day and oatmeal. We had a lot of chicken to constantly have stock on hand.

I can't put it off any longer, I need to call the plumber and go buy a disposal. The water won't even drain now. I think it's only on one side so I might try using the other sink.
