It’s great when two dogs love each other. We rested in bed after Shea and I had a night swim at our friends’ house nearby. With the October heat, it’s nice to have friends with a heated pool, although pretty rare and unexpected to have a warm night in which to go into the water, especially at this time of year. Who are we to complain, though? It was a nice way to catch up, hang out, and relax after a long day. It’s hard to tell, but Bonnie is literally resting her head on Snoopy’s body and he is happy to be near her too. My leg was in there somewhere as we cuddle-piled and waited for Shea.
I think this video proves Bonnie’s quality of life after her eyes were removed.
As president of Glen Cove Community Association, I had the privilege of being asked to present a question to the mayoral candidates of Vallejo at the Alliance of Vallejo Neighborhood Associations, which took place at JFK Library near city hall.
You can find me in a few of these pictures taken by others at the event:
It was in the 90’s Fahrenheit when we started to row at 6 pm, but it cooled down to 89 by the time we finished. We got to see a gorgeous sunset, but despite the water being glass, there was quite a current we had to fight to get back to the marina.
The last few pictures are courtesy of rowing mates.
I had fun in general at Folsom Street Fair, but there was ZERO San Francisco Department of Health enforcement present and only a few pathetic signs like this one near the end of a street that was an offshoot from the main fair. Why aren’t the street fair licenses at least threatened to be revoked for the overall discomfort and health of attendees?
For those who cherish consent, how about for those who are forced to inhale cigars and other combustible devices in crowds, not to mention people sucking on vapes with huge plumes all day long? I did not consent to polluted air, so I had to spend my day attempting to avoid it in public from discourteous people. I hope the world gets some sense knocked into it someday. I actually love crowds, but not if I have to fight the ignorance.
This was my first time there too. It was neat to finally see the Golden Gate from this angle, even though it was mostly hidden by fog. Shea knew just where to park.
Chocolate chihuahua mix Moe was fostered for a few days and 15-year-old Bentley was back for another dogsitting episode. Snoopy and I joined them in the backyard while Bonnie stubbornly stayed inside.
The only “view” we saw of the Golden Gate from the Marin Headlands was from the car as you’ll see from the back seat, but the park has some other cool features like the old fort/tunnels, etc.
As president of the Glen Cove Community Association, I had the honor of emceeing the Vallejo City Council District 3 and mayoral candidates forum tonight. Thank you to the participants, the rest of my Board including Christine who professionally kept the time, and Shea for taking the footage which streamed live.
