Nuclear Steam Generator Transporter Heads East
Southern California Edison is responsible for it but it's being escorted by CHP. Top speed is 15MPH so it's going to take at least three weeks to make the 800+ mile trip. It's on the 15 near the boarder check now and rumored to be headed up to Winchester road. This is the first of four that will be transported this way through N. County; they plan to have them all in Utah by December '11. Too funny about the dentist. And kind of scary too. I wonder if anyone has a Geiger counter...— August 3, 2011 5:09 p.m.

LOL. I'm referring to WARNING!! Warning by Jenny Joseph WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.— August 2, 2011 2:14 p.m.

An Absolutely True Story of Being Deported at Age 14
Raul, you are so brave to tell your story. I can't imagine that happening to anyone, let alone a boy of 14. Thank you for sharing with us.— July 26, 2011 9:02 a.m.
murder most foul..the careful brown sparrow
Beautiful Nan. It makes me want to read more. I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine. (((Hugs))) ".it seemed a quickly "throw" together nest" "a Cowbird laying her eggs tried to "claimed" Trudy's nest." Shouldn't this be "thrown" and "claim"...— July 12, 2011 1:38 p.m.

You DID NOT just use "mugwump"!! That is really funny to me. It's one of my favorite words. I am relishing getting older. Someday I will be the one wearing purple with the red hat that doesn't go and gobbling up samples. (I already know how to spit ~ I've been practicing :)— June 29, 2011 8:29 a.m.

Oh, so true. The parent-child relationship is so tricky to navigate. It's partly a coming-of-age/into-one's own scenario. And getting up the guts to do something about it. And finding a way to do it that's kind. There are so many aspects. Eleanor Roosevelt's "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" also fits well. I needed to learn not to blame my SM but to establish my own boundaries. Being able to say "that won't work for me" instead of rolling over and taking it and then feeling resentful is an art. One that I am working on daily. I try to be kind. Usually it takes very little extra effort and the rewards are immense. Emily Dickinson was the first poet I was introduced to by my parents. This one runs through my mind quite often: If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.— June 28, 2011 2:58 p.m.

Whew! I hoped as much was true but one never knows how it will be interpreted. Thank goodness for poetry.— June 28, 2011 2:48 p.m.

The romantic in me sees him pouring over them trying to discover even more parts of you to love in your absence. The realist sees him dying first.— June 27, 2011 6:44 p.m.
