Sink holes

We are out this afternoon, going for coffee and lunch, with Enrique, and are stopped in the middle of a, normally, quite busy street. Up ahead, on the main street, is a huge sinkhole.

I have no idea when it happened, as we have not been outside for the week we have been home from Los Altos. However, as most sinkholes go, it is usually due to an excess of water. The Lord knows, we have had that recently.

More, and more, sinkholes are showing up all over the globe. There is even one on a small street in Los Altos! What is going on?

I have to mention the condominium that collapsed in Miami last week. Pay attention to the rubble that was left; it is, for the most part, powder. Where are the large chunks of concrete, attached to long lengths of rebar? You do not see them because they are not there. The entire building, and the ones close to it, have been allowed to “pass inspection”, how?

Enough of that. I am getting all worked up, with no place to expend the energy. I am going to remain happy, healthy, and, safe. I will continue to wash my hands, cover my mouth, and help protect my loved ones. I trust you will do the same.


Rainy season

The rain started, again, just about two hours ago, and is showing little signs of stopping.

You all know how much I enjoy listening to, and watching the rainfall, so, to have the living room windows open, wide, without the rain coming in, is truly a blessing.

This will be a short post as I am sure you have other things to do, but I just wanted to share that little gem with you. The humidity, which you would think should be high, is not noticeable. My guess is it is because of the cool weather. It is 11am, and, even with the rain, the temperature is a cool 63°F/17°C. Heavenly. (I suspect the plants are all taking in the humidity, even with the coolness of the air. I sure am!)

I hope your day is going well, and, that you are happy, healthy, and safe. Continue to wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones. You will be have a better chance of surviving this plague.

Good morning, all. Another magical Wednesday at the end of June.
