blablablablablablablabla..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

with all the floods & hurricanes & fires going on this blazing summer, so glad it's not suffocatingly hot up here, or muggy humidy like ventura, where my sister & i just visited. blechcchhc!! it's lovely there visually, but as our cousin said, yeah, you always feel like you just got out of the shower... i would add, except not clean!! the bottom pix are from one of my 30th sobriety celebrations, w my sponsee cut out since i don't know if she wants her image online. at the first celebration, i got a nice card signed by everyone in attendance that eve; @ this one, they gave me a paper crown, which i've worn two other times, both when i was in my 1st sober yr. this yr, i got two chips!!! it's been a decade since that happened!! my experience is, since i hit 20, i more often have gone to mtgs & there's no chips available. this was an extra-nice thing, getting two chips! lagniappe! :D so back to climate, if you want a fun website, look up zoom earth, which has interesting maps showing all kinds of real-time weather info... i miss newspapers, where you could see all the numbers in one place, all the temps & humidities & forecasts... well, not much more to say. it's a lazy summer afternoon, & my old boy louis is asleep at my feet, & this pic shows what peewee the cat did when i got up for a moment,

& james & i might go to the dump or set up our music gear to play. i can't believe we still haven't heard what it sounds like with his guitar plus my kick drum!!! i suspect it will sound band-like, with just us two & the snare-like shuffle of james's old-timey guitar along with the thump of the kick. oil well. i know we'll do it, & i can be the p word... us not getting on the ball with this stompers stuff, i blame the torpor, the laziness, the bleghgh of mid-summer. even my plants are looking peak-ed.
