Time change Sunday...

“I don’t mind going back to daylight savings time.  Considering the present inflation, the hour will be the only thing I’ve managed to save all year.”  Victor Borge

It ain’t what’cha’d ackshully call a ‘blustery’ day here in Ol Fair Oaks, nor even what y’d want’a refer to as a ‘blust’ kind’a day…it’s just a overcast ’n a little breezy ’n noticeably cooler than it wuz yesti’day…I blame it on the time change, of course, but only becuz that’s a convenient hook…”Summer’s almost gone, winter’s comin’ on….” Bob Dylan

Winter here in norCal ain’t like winters back in the states where they actually have four seasons ’n a pretty clear delineation between ‘em…here, winter pretty much consists of a little rain, a little fog, temps in the ’40’s dropping into the ’30’s at night…Sometimes….once in a while, generally for a very short period in the middle of the night, the temp may even drop below freezing for a few moments, even maybe as much as an hour or so….I recall once’t upon a time, back in ’86, I believe, in the last century, the temp actually got down into the teens…killed off a bunch of geraniums ’n wiped out my tangerine tree….didn’t kill it completely, y’understand, just knocked it back to the original rootstock ’n now produces inedible oranges….it’s a pretty tree ’n has some nasty thorns ’n I prune it back ever’ once in a while just for the heck of it….

Me ’n da boyz wuz walkin’ down the street this morning after sleeping in (due to the time change, of course)…ran into a gaggle of our neighbors heading out for a storebought breakfast down to the Bistro…told me they had a strawberry sorbet jelly that wuz to die for ’n that I should just stop sometime ’n ask for a sample….I might have t’do that becuz I tho’t sorbet wuz some kind of ice cream ’n not sure how they make a jelly out of that…

Wondrous things this world supplies to those who choose to look….
