    but prediction is for rain and lots of it. Last night folks were lucky as the rain held off and the show was awesome by all accounts. Tonight I'd say be prepared for anything. The seats in the 100s are pretty well covered. The 200s and lawn, not so much.

    I love the rain and will take it any time...except during a show. Question is, how well did the Furthur show at Shoreline go last night? Anybody there? I'm supposed to go to the show tonight, which is why I'm asking. I don't suppose there is any chance of cancellation?

    it is pouring in the Bay Area, which pretty much exceeds one's reasonable sense of humor on the subject... C'mon, it's JUNE!!

    my vet
    is super conscientious about foxtails because he had a dog DIE from an unsuspected one that worked its way into the dog's brain. My Callie in her younger days celebrated each spring by inhaling a foxtail. Now that she's old I'm really hoping to avoid it. I'm also hoping Cash avoids her snorking ways. It's tough though; right now our neighborhood is full of the darn things.

    Damn foxtails
    I had to take my dog to the vet last year to pull out a handful of those damn things from her paws. The wounds got infected and the whole bit... "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

    Marye, your description doesn't evoke the mental picture that I usually get when I see the words "dog" and "minefield" used in the same sentence. Especially my dogs in relation to the minefield that they create in my back yard...actually, THEIR back yard. 80s yesterday in NC, a front came through and now we're in the 60s and sunny. Better than those tornado weather patterns of the past couple of weeks.

    yeah...
    it's pretty darn nice here in Oakland too. The only thing I can find to complain about is that it's brought out the foxtails, which is a bummer from the dogs' point of view, because it's making a lot of their favorite spots a real minefield for the next few months. (Foxtails, for those not familiar with the grasses for which we can apparently blame the conquistadors, are spiky, barbed grass awns programmed by evolution to work their way up every canine orifice that presents itself, and create a few new ones, to the tune of much anguish and $$$. Wheat, basically, though oats are no treat in this regard either.)

Not a cloud in the sky, a slight breeze, 50 degrees. Had a brisk walk at noon. Fall colors are stunning. Yellow, red and orange against the blue above. A heaven on earth kind of day. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

First frost light on Thursday night, heavy frost last night. Leaves have fallen off many of the trees, some are now bare, others in their finest orange and red plumage. Blue clear skies.The squirrels are going nuts gathering the walnuts and storing them. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

if you go back to page 2 of this thread you can see the full collection of 5:15 clocks in our house. the two brown clocks look similar, but they were made by two different makers. one was 'Made in Occupied Japan' which I picked up in an antique shop for about $35 in Kinki, Japan a few years ago. probably about 50 years old now, both of those clocks have nice tones when the clocks strike 5:15! peace.

I reckon the guy selling the clock could not understand English very well, because whenI asked him how old it was, he said, maybe about 15 - 20 years old. so with some hard bargaining, (learned on tour) I got the price down by about half of his original asking price. later I pointed out the markings on it, and mentioned that it was made soon after the war as I was leaving the shop.

Bayfield, Colorado got 6 inches in this weekend's snow storm - the ski resorts a few thousand feet higher got over 3 feet, so the skiers are happy. I really dislike snow, though, and it makes me miss San Diego!
