Good 49º extremely smokey morning.
Yesterday it was sickeningly smokey as well. I had to close the house up
early and turn on the AC and ceiling fans. Cough cough cough....
Temperature wise we topped at 85.8º.
Yesterday I could hardly see my mountain for the smoke.... and it looks the
same right now...
Breakfast was an omelette filled with shredded chicken and Parmesan cheese
and yogurt and tomato on the side. I made the omelette with a new omelette
maker. Super easy. Super good. Super fluffy. More on that later...
At the top of the plate is the chocolate side of one of those biscotti's
..... just in case you were wondering what that odd looking stuff was!
Get prepared for tomorrow.... our total eclipse will happen about 10:15 in

This was on the Friday night news....
This was on the Friday night news....
Meet Squish, a baby greater flamingo, who was born just a
few months ago from an egg that was found abandoned.
Workers at Singapore's Jurong Bird Park incubated the egg until Squish was born.
Today, Squish was able to strut around the park with
specially made blue booties protecting his feet from the hot ground.
The booties, according to bird experts, will help prevent
his feet from getting calluses, which could get infected and delay his release
into the wild.
Squish is taking strolls daily to help strengthen his
legs and give him some exposure to sunlight.
Gerard Wan, Jurong Bird Park's animal care officer, said
the UV rays from the sun will help boost his calcium levels which will
strengthen his bone development.
"When his feet are [strong enough,] we will send him back
into the flock, and hopefully, he will be able to integrate with them," Wan
said.
Wan
said Squish has been progressing well and doesn't need to be fed by hand
anymore. Currently, Squish weighs 3.5 pounds, and park workers anticipate he
will be strong enough to release to the flock in about two
weeks.
What is funny about this story is the name Squish. That is the nickname
Brian gave to his Sami!
I was having a dream early Saturday morning. I was in a super crowded parking lot trying to find a parking place. The lot looked a lot like the one by Brian's office. Anyway, I looked up and there was Jerry, wearing a light blue pull over shirt and wearing a red cowboy hat. He pointed me to the only available parking spot! OMG.
He loved wearing cowboy hats!
You know, more often than not I do find parking spots right up front and
close to where I am going. I always figured Jerry was watching out for me and
made them available! Friends are always saying, "how come you always find a
front row parking place?" LOL
Later dinner was a filet Omaha Steak, avocado, tomato, and some balsamic/buttery mushrooms. First I sauteéd the mushrooms in butter very slowly.
Then I added in some Napa Valley Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar... let that
cook for a bit and then added in some mayonnaise and it made a super good
gravy!
I know, there are lots of things you don't think about adding mayonnaise to, but it works for all kinds.... great slathered on a chicken for roasting too.
Then chair, wine, and TV...
I watched the Dodgers vs Detroit Tigers baseball game. The game was
played in Detroit. Really pretty stadium down in the middle of
town....
The Dodgers won 3 to zip! The announcers for the game were Dick Enberg
and Kirk Gibson!!!
Our smokey sunset....
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.
