birthday 65

What's 65? I'm not going to let the government decide what it is for me. Today it is a birthday. Last evening the next generation (Ryan in pic by Joel) and Dorcas gave me a good time. Thanks, everyone! The cake has the peace sign on it, based on the semaphore signs for nuclear disarmament. I never knew that! I was born months before the atom bomb entered the hands of warriors. So, I'm totally on the peace sign. When I was eight years old or so a plane approaching at night was surely the Soviet Union coming to drop an A-bomb on Monterey.

old buddy, new book

Saturday I saw a high school and college friend, Ken Reed, sign copies of his new book. I waited in line, snapped this pic, and got one for myself and read at least 50 pages so far.

wheels of Monterey, backwards

Wheels going backwards. Or, backward wheels. Actually, cutting edge micro-industry. Mph? I'd guess 20. Distance travelled like this? I'd guess 1.5 miles. Why backwards? Sheds would block the view forward.

Hang your wash out and save. Zoom in and see the label--Talbots. Love those lines!
