Good 34ยบ cloudy morning. Some rain yesterday, not much... about 1/10".
Started about 3pm and didn't last long.
In California there is a Blue Alert for the capture of the former LAPD
officer, Christopher Dorner, who has gone on a killing rampage, depressed and
angry at being fired. You can go to www.KTLA.com to read about it. He's killed one
officer (as of yesterday morning) and wounded a couple others and is suspect in
the killing of the daughter and her husband of a LAPD officer. My friend Sandy
wrote, she lives in Beaumont, and scuttlebutt is that Dorner may live in
Beaumont also. Big Bear is on lock down while they search for him there after he
burned his truck.
The purpose of the Blue Alert Program is to establish a quick response
system designed to issue and coordinate alerts following a violent attack upon a
law enforcement officer. The goal of a Blue Alert is to provide immediate
information to the public about violent suspects via media broadcasts, and other
notification resources to solicit help from the public in the safe and swift
apprehension of the suspect. This is frightening for all those in So. Cal and all officers. Sad.
Yesterday the phone company guy, Tim, really nice, was here to transfer the
phone lines from the old pole to the new pole. Yeah! Now we can get the power
company to take out the old one and we can use it to fix our bridge.
And here are the lines transferred to the new pole... I called the power
company and they will contact me when they can take down the old pole.

Dee and Jeannie THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD! Dee, the salsa and cheese was your
idea (1 jar fav salsa and 2-3 cups finely grated cheese), Jeannie liked it too,
so I had some leftover and thought it would be good with eggs.....

warm, beat the eggs and add. Cook until set. Top with cilantro and enjoy!
OMGOOD. I could eat this every day!
