Weekend at San Clemente

Dad and I had breakfast at the Fisherman and then walked the Pier. It was chilly but soon the sun came out and we watched an old restored steam train go by on the tracks...very cool.

From Apple Picking to the Pie!!

My basket of apples from the orchard & the pie that I made at home....someone has been snacking on it in the middle of the night...& it's not one of the cats :)

What up?? It's the mouse!!!

Just in case you were wondering what Muffin has been up to since you last saw her...no good!

A Day On The USS Sampson - May 17, 2008

Connie and I had the privilege of spending the day aboard this new Destroyer as guests of the Navy and Ensign Richard Martinson. We shipped out at 0900 hours and returned at 1630 hours. The USS Sampson is about six months old and was still being tested prior to being placed in service. Ship details can be found at the link to the left. The ship sailed out near San Clemente Island, fired its 5 inch cannon, 50 caliber machine guns, torpedo launchers, etc. It was a great ride.














It was a little foggy in the morning in San Diego

Galapagos Islands -April 2008

Bob, the Blue-footed Booby

I never considered the meaning of "endemic" until I heard our naturalist guide use it several times a day to describe many of the species found on the Islands. Of course, I can't begin to remember what was and wasn't endemic, but with the exception of Caribbean Flamingos, the species were all new to me.

I don't think Bob is endemic, but he could use a little more evolution. He needs to learn to "chill-out."
