When I g-mapped an address in Santa Cruz tonight I found this extra picture in the results. I immediately recognized him as The Great Morgani who not only is a master accordion player but an amazing tailor as well. www.thegreatmorgani.com He is a retired guy who lives downtown and he will show up now and then in an incredible costume and play perfect accordion tunes. Watch him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YS9mC7Ql4o

If you look closely there's a dog riding on the rear view mirror of the truck.

After 3 dry weeks the rains returned and accidents at predictable places on the mountain road.

Now that Alice has her own door she has decided to turn our home into a funeral parlor. She brings her work in and leaves it for me to supervise.

Alice has a warm little house to sleep in and a door in the window so she can come and go as she likes. I bought a new heater so we're ready for winter. And no more racoons and skunks and neighborhood tomcats sneaking in to eat her food.

One of the clients we chauffeur has been manufacturing headsets since the early 1960s.

They were used by NASA in the early days and still are. Maybe your bluetooth is made by them. Mine is.

The cows of San Juan Bautista in the morning.

It's been raining for 4 days and the creek is rising under the walk bridge. This creek does flood so there may be some interesting updates in the months ahead.

Walked to work and a long day of messy roads, backups and detours. Glad for the rain though.

I saw a bee girl at a grocery store over the hill. On the walk home from work around midnight I found bee antennae on the sidewalk near my house.
