Earthquake ~ Patterson ~ Big Al ~ Turkeys


Good 35º foggy full moon morning. The prediction was for temps in the teens, but that didn't happen. Ahhhh...weather predictors!

Kristen wrote that her sleep was interrupted by an earthquake.
Apparently it was centered in the Fontana area. A 4.4 about 1:30 in the morning at a depth of 3¼ miles.


So, a full moon and an earthquake.... great intro to Bill (LASD ret Homicide Sgt) Patterson's birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY!!!! Get well .... we'll party!!!
 

Today is also Deputy "Big Al" Rodriguez's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL!! Al and I in 2007 when he stopped by on his way hunting in Montana.... or somewhere like that! It was just after Jerry died and he wanted to stop and give me a hug! Al worked at ELA when I was there. My buddy!

Yesterday I took Bruiser and Dude to the vet's for shots. I figured after stuffing the Bruise in a cat cage and the trip in the car, the temperature taken, shots given he'd be really pissed at me. Not. He just was as loving and clingy as ever!

Dude was happy to see so many people in the waiting room and everyone wanted to pet him. Even his "dad" UPS Dave came by and said hello!! Tail wagging... "oh look, it's my dad!"

Came home and I went back to town to see if there was a package at the post office. YES!!! It was the Windows start up disc. Took that to Turk. Hopefully soon the computer will be fixed. It won't have anything in it but Windows so I will have to do a lot of downloading and reinsertion of files.


I heard something on the roof..... figured it was turkeys since the flock was in the front yard. I went upstairs and got this shot out the window. Silly birds!!!

Hi Sue,
Could you please send a big Happy Birthday to "Big Al" for me please? :)
He was one of my favorites from East Los.

Thanks,
Cathy

Oh my. What a funny cartoon. Just like a Dem to kick a big guy after he's dead, huh?

Amazing the history of the Dem Party and what they have done to the blacks from the beginning! Pitiful what handing out freebees will do to get them to go over to their enemy's side! Terrible! My hunch is tht most don't even know that history or don't care!

Also what's pitiful is when our former first lady married that rich old man for his money. I have read the books and that's exactly what she did! The Kennedy's were never rich enough for her.

You are doing a great job on your blog without your big computer! Thank you!

XO Trisha

Oregon Sue said...

Thanks T!! Like you, though, I hate typing on this laptop. Sad about the Kennedy's with all their money and tragedies. Jacquie like BullShillary didn't seem to care about their husband's romps with other women, as long as they had the money and position~!
