Foggy Mondaze.....





'Brrrrrrr!"






"The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
Carl Sandburg

Just back from our morning S&P 'roundabout…brrrrr….fog ain't lifted 'n Baby, it's cooold outside….well, northern California cold anyway not Minnesota cold or even Ohio cold, but cold enuff….
The workers down the street claim they're gonna put in a full five dayz this week…last week, they just kind'a showed up 'n stood around tellin' what they wuz gonna do…on the other hand, the ones down to the old theater have been busy ripping the old front off the place, jackhammering the sidewalks 'n piling the detritus in neat little piles fronting the street…
Meanwhile, I'd like to say the beautification project of Ol Fair Oaks goes apace but t'ain't so, the workers there move like gov't people, slowly 'n deliberately (I don't think there's any malice aforethought or otherwise)…the project wuz s'posed t'be finished before Christmas 'n then they said late January or early February but that just might be positive thinking…I b'leeve I'll just wait 'n see…in the meantime, me 'n da boyz'll keep daily tab on ever'thing….
Old friend of mine died over the weekend…Denver Moore wuz 80 years old 'n had Parkinsons…he stayed young longer than most…Moore wuz my little hometown's version of The Fonz twenty years before Happy Days made The Fonz into an American icon…anyway R.I.P. old friend...

The best thing about hot coffee on a cold morning is that it's generally served indoors.
