You can view a new video of the visitor here.

Here is a short version of the video that I captured the picture of the hawk (below) from:

I’ve been trying to get YouTube to upload a version for almost 4 hours, with no luck. I don’t know if they are too busy or are just having some server difficulties.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, around this time every year we get visited by a hawk or two. This is one of them.

Most people would think this is a no brainer. But if the surfers of California are anything like the ones on island, then I understand why the officials felt it necessary to post the notice. Every year local surfers await the typhoon season. And every year some of those die hards end up at hospitals with numerous gashes, and sometimes more serious injuries, from being tossed into the coral reef by unforgiving waves. When it comes to the call of the waves, common sense doesn’t always prevail.

For anyone who has ever worked in the service industry, you’ll get a good chuckle out of today’s (Oct 31) Ziggy. 😉

One giant step for pumpkin kind. Have A Happy Halloween.

Finally someone who got it, and thankfully her parents understand too. Not everything is about competition in the political sense. Good luck and have fun playing one of the most enjoyable games there is!!!

I’ve just added a new feature to the site, videos. Here is my first effort at videoblogging – a relaxing 2 minute break.

Or you can view the video with audio here.

I just read that Rosa Parks has moved on and will no longer grace the earth with her uncommon presence. If there ever was a person who inspired belief in the spirit of self-respect and respect for fellow human beings, it was she. Farewell and sweet dreams.
