It's easy to grin when your ship comes in
and you've got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile is the man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat.
Yesterday, we had dinner at a really cool little place on the beach. We arrived early so we could watch the sunset with dinner. Before sunset we were treated to some whales frolicking. Not the best picture, but that white poof is a whale spout.
I was dong a job at PGA West today.
I walked out of the house and saw this guy.
A little later he was out on the golf course with a few of his honey's mowing the grass.
That's cool! I'd like to stand him next to one of ours and see if I can tell a difference. I think they're smaller but who knows? Probably the internet knows.
Coming back home today, I found my place dry and electricity on! - OMG, thank you so much! The heating works, and so kept my fridge. - I feel for all friends who still keep pumping out water from their basements, nearby. Restaurants especially, which on top have to throw away all their freezed goods... what a loss & mess to clean up after the flood!
not really what you expect in the Baltic, which has virtually no tides to mention. Must have been a hell of a wind.

Our power was off and on, mostly off until about 3PM yesterday. Gave me a big tease yesterday morning when I thought I might get a pot of coffee brewed and just as I went toward the kitchen - bonk, nothingness.
We're mostly good here, just the normal cleanup. But the next town over took a big hit.

Thankfully things went your way.
Or rather, away from you.
Yikes! Hope you and everyone stays safe. Floods are a mess.

Storm flooding the Baltic Sea shores of Germany and Denmark.
Watch the video from 2.12 mins. to get a glimpse of my "front yard". Water is expected to rise another 2-3 yards tonight, which if it happens as projected will flood the whole town.
Evacuated my home moving everything "up" as far as possible. Hope I'll have an apartment to return to after tonight.

That's been an ongoing controversy for quite awhile.
She was there in Palm Springs before leaving to Australia. When she came back... some wanted her... some did not.
Personally, I don't care.
Palm Springs has always been kitsch-fest since I can remember. It's a little too weird for me. I went to high school there in the late 60's early 70's.
I live at the eastern end of the Coachella Valley... 20 miles away from Palm Springs. But I have work in Palm Springs often.
Yeah, I thought the statue was poorly crafted and kind of stupid, even though our art museum was having a Marilyn exhibit. I withdraw the offer. Still the whole thing brought in a ton of tourism money.
Which side are you on Kurt?
Maybe we should offer her asylum since for some reason people loved having the statue here.

Well, not real happy to drive up to Yukca.
Have to drive through Desert Hot Flash and Moron(go) Valley to get there.
I have plenty to do down here in the Coachella Valley.
Oh well... it'll pay more off on my car I'm trying to build.
Come on down Lily!
Then you must come to Palm Springs. It's full of that genre.
I just bid on a new house up in Yucca Valley that is a total take on Mid Century Mod.
And got the job.
congrats!!!

Today was patch day.
I went to three different jobs to fix issues with drywall.
One place I went to, that I've been to before, is truly unique.
It's one of a couple of houses they call the "Ship of the Desert" in Palm Springs.
It sits up on Southridge Drive. Where Bob Hope had his house. Some very expensive homes up there.
Here's the view looking north out from the living room over the "Infinity Pool".
The odd looking round roof off to the left, which is across the street, is the famous Arthur Elrod designed home built in the 60's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It was featured in the James Bond movie "Diamonds Are Forever". And other notable thingy's.
