Well, our little 3.4 (downgraded by USGS) got little press in relation to the 5.4 the LA area. That one shook us a bit too as daughter is near that epicenter with grandchild on board.

She lives in Yorba Linda now and we were lucky to get through on the cell almost immediately. She is fine and nothing was broken, albeit a bottle of wine fell off the refrigerator and didn't break.

They have only been there a couple of weeks, so did not have anything up on the walls yet. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. LOL!

Yesterday, the weather was quite nice. Got a bit windy in the afternoon, but it sure was nice not to have that &&**## smoke hovering above us.

Cone Peak and Pea Vine Peak are pretty amazing in both the morning and afternoon sun. The patterns of shadows accenting canyons and gullies are most interesting and almost beautiful.

I have one more duty to perform as outgoing treasurer for CRTA. End of the year financial report (fiscal year) has to be both published and also presented to the State headquarters. Will do both of those on Thursday and Friday of this week. Too bad I have to return to Sacramento to accomplish that feat.

Not much of a hassle really. Report has been completed for almost two weeks and we had to return to Sacramento anyhow. JoAnne has to work at the college and the baby shower for Keiko is on Sunday.

We have a political event here in Reno on Saturday, so plan to use the Z3 to run up and back for that event. (That little car needs the work. Hasn't been driven much in the last month or two.)

Well, need my coffee. Y'all take care hear?
