No DB Mooney Mooney is down the Central Coast, on the Newc expressway.

That one up here was Glenugie, not the usual Dirty Creek turnoff. No mention of earlier sirens must have just been minor bingles.
 
I'm stocked up and have gone to ground until after New Year when things settle down a bit and the tourists have learned their way around.
Had a smile the other day, there's a big sign on the new roundabout and overpass flashing "Ignore your GPS!" They'd better, the road isn't where it was last week.
 
Geez, I thought my guys were in NYC 'til Sunday. Mom has to work and Dad wants to go to the football game, so my lil buddy is coming over when their flight gets in. He and I are going to watch some kid's movies I taped for him from HBO.....so much for having the house to myself after Katie went home. But he's a joy and dad pays well, so it's definitely worth giving up a Saturday afternoon.
 
Ahhhhh, Saturday. Since leaving the cramped and crowded gentrification of the surf ghetto, enjoying the peace and quiet in horse country. Can no longer see the waves but sure can hear the double overhead swell crashing. Wheeeee.....
 
Time to beat up my student for a few hours!

Between the holidays and hunting season I haven't seen much of him in the past month, so I've been taking out my aggressions on the cat, the dog and Sister Simian's second-grade class as they wait for the bus.

I had begun studying Kung Fu during my years with Uncle Sham but had to split on an assignment and couldn't continue the lessons. I was mentioning this to an RVN pilot friend and he told me that while walking down the street his . . .( Sifu?, Master?, Teacher? . . . not sure what they are called in Vietnam) . . . let's just call him his Kung Fu Guy . . . passed in the other direction on the other side of the street. He suddenly crossed over and put my friend in the hospital for not respecting him! Tien was amazing. I can recall suddenly having his foot appear millimeters from my head followed by much laughter. He was a great guy and I hope he survived the war and is living somewhere here in the USA with his family.
 
A Master in Vietnamese is usually referred to either as chủ or thạc sĩ, but in English they'll respond to "Master".

A lot of the old-school Oriental teachers were deadly - you didn't want to insult them ever.
 
Couple of deer on today's walk...hope everyone's having a great day!
