Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
When the cold weather moves in, the wind howls and getting chilled to the bone is a possibility. This is when a bowl of seafood gumbo (crab, shrimp, lobster and clams) over curry rice hits the spot!
Here’s a link to My favorite cure to the cold weather blues!

After a lot of soul searching and trial, I finally narrowed down my choice of small handguns to #kimber. An expensive but accurate choice for defense.
What surprised me when I went to #rangemaster was the crowd inside, the almost empty racks and the depleted shelves. Despite the unusually long wait, the crowd was patient and polite…. Characteristic of this group.
Since the Islamic terrorist slaughter in San Bernardino, Californians are reevaluating their perceived conditions of risk… And found it wanting. Enough guns were sold on Black Friday to equip a new branch of the military ( interesting stat)!
The people who were shopping were : experienced gun owners, first time buyers who also wanted to sign up for courses, government and law enforcement types, and a few hunters who were miffed at the slim pickens.
California has a long way to go to protect the average citizen… Unfortunately there are entire counties that believe that the only help you deserve is on the other end of your 911 call. Good luck with that. Here’s a subjective mapping of California I found online …
Make California safer… County by county!
I love all holidays, but I have a special fondness for Halloween. As a child, I remember running from house to house collecting little and big goodies. My record was three shopping bags!
Part of the fun is offering children … Some I actually know … A See’s candy bar (the Rolls Royce of treats!). Laura was serving fruit and organic juice and I was BBQ-ing sausages and garlic bread to help refresh the spooky travelers.
Where else can you demonstrate a little kindness to so many people at one time? I hope your Halloween was as fun!
Yes, we bought the Mercedes Benz B series “electric drive” car only yesterday… But we’ve had a lot of fun meeting people and showing it around.
While at a local recharging station we met a guy who bought the same car in Calabasas and charged his up while we were there; a local couple who loved the idea of energy independence and three young people from #solarcity (roof solar panels) who were suitably impressed.
Laura’s little Mercedes will take her to school tomorrow! Special thanks to Alfano Mercedes Benz in San Luis Obispo and the car buying team at #usaa !
Not everyone who goes to college lands a job in their chosen field or even a job… But what if you could?? Here’s one idea that could help… Look for classes and majors that give you the skills you need that are in demand:
