Seniors

100 years ago? Wasn't it Mexico then?

Seriously, I worked a while in San Francisco. What a blast. Corner of Chinatown, the financial district and Little Italy. Across the street from the pyramid.

My wife saw me on TV braving the wind and rain on my walk from BART to the office.

Newsworthy weather.

Walked past the original Bank of Italy building every workday. A. P. Giannini helped people out of the 06 earthquake and became Bank of America.




Speaking of paradise. Just before we broke up and sold the home, I did home-looking and visited Paradise, CA, which sadly burned to the ground several years later at great cost in homes and lives.

I picked another part of the woods and have had only two evacuations in the 10 years or so. No losses, except some winter storm damage.

Rule of life here includes clearing 100 foot defensible space for fires, and always having an evac kit handy and ready to roll.

I really do try to make the best of every day.
