Rock and Roll, Babies and a job

Today at 6/16/2005 01:53:25 PM PDT our whole family felt a 5.3 earthquake though we were several miles apart. The quake originated 16 mi. ( 26 km) ESE of San Bernardino, CA. I was on the 9th floor of a building in Glendale and you could feel the whole building sway. That was not so bad but when the announcement over the loud speaker said there could be aftershocks and to stay away from the windows is when everyone got a bit nervous.

My wife today delivered her first baby after more than 20 years working as a nurse.
My son today received an offer for a new position.

Today has been exceptional.

I have been thinking of Hot Dogs lately and thought of this picture. Though this is in Los Angeles and we had an excellent food there, I am thinking of a place in Syracuse New York where we using to get the freshest and best hot dogs I have ever had. I don’t remember the name but I will find out.

HONESTY

A 4 year old boy came screaming out of the bathroom to tell his mother he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. The mother fished it out and threw it in the garbage. The boy stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to the bathroom and came out with his mother’s toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, “We better throw this one out too then, ’cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.”

My son and I were driving through the mountains about a week ago and came across this setting. A car was dumped over a cliff after it was stolen. Why it was not left on the side of the road I have no idea. Well any it came to our attention when we saw a tow truck with its extended line over the side of the mountain getting ready to pull it up.
