Tresspassers Beware

Good Morning San Diego,
Here is the non-sunrise view this AM. The marine layer got in my way again...

If you are a little squeamish don't look below....

Getting close to that weekend again. Are thinking about RR? Our little doggies were playing all night. They cornered, harried and caught a large opossum last night. I sprayed them with a hose and everything and could not get them to let it live. I guess it was "doggies night out" and they needed it. It has been a long time since they have caught anything except for a facefull of skunk perfume....

Good Afternoon San Diego

Did you miss me this morning? Sorry to post so late, but real work got in the way of my play work. The America's Cup team was out on their new play thing today. This new trimaran is amazingly big those are not small boats beside it. On Monday the new trimaran began her sailing trials, hoisting the double reefed 5,000 square foot (500 meters square) mainsail up the 158 foot (48 meter) carbon fiber mast. Click here for video: USA-BMW Oracle It dwarfs any other boat in the bay.

The light tonight was amazing, shining thru holes in the clouds to light up the city when everything else was in shadow.

The sunrise this morning was another May Gray Day. Wazzuppw/dat????

Monday Morning

Good Morning San Diego,
Time to start another week in our beautiful city. I may complain that there was no sunrise due to marine layer this am, but I'll still bless myself that I live in the best place in the world. (If you ask me, or don't, Ill tell you anyway). If you are a little sad that your weekend is over, you can reminisce over these pics of Sunset Cliffs that I took last night just before sunset. Enjoy

Shark Sunday

Good Morning San Diego,
Time to swim with the sharks, as they say, but literally, you can, in La Jolla this time of year the docile Leopard sharks arrive and cover the beaches, freaking out tourists and allowing wanna be "Sea Hunt" fans (remember that show? You really are old..) to play out their fantasy shark swim without fear of being munched. Click here for story and pics

So have a great Sunday. And be sure to come home with all of your toes......

Saturday

Good Morning San Diego,
And how are we this foggy morning? Were you up early like me and my neighbor's one-eyed cat? (chasing the early bird and having very vocal discussions with my wayward cat Lillimon).

The skyline was another soft grey morning, we are back to no sunrises for a while I guess.

I told my captian (on the yacht Renown) not to take the boat out without my permission..... (I guess the owners had other ideas)

Friday

Good Morning San Diego,
Summer is here but the foggy sunrises are still with us. Foggy in the AM and sunny afternoons, keeping it humid and a little cooler. Another beginning of a fab weekend in Americas Finest City. Enjoy.

Tuesday

Good Morning San Diego,
Get in line, everybody, were going to have some fun. Always something to watch on the bay. I have such an active view from my home office that it is amazing anything gets done.

From watching the sailboat races in the afternoon to the sunrise this morning there is activity on the water 24-7. I love it.

One giant step

Good Morning Moonies,
Today marks the day 40 years ago that we walked on the moon. Amazing, I thought we would be walking on Mars by now. I wanted to be one of the lucky ones to do it. (Weren't to many girl astronauts at that time!) Did you know that Michael Jackson was not the originator of the moon walk? John says that the Marx brothers were the first to make this move in public.

Sunday Sunrise

Good Morning San Diego,
Are you ready to enjoy a beautiful Sunday? What are you going to do today? Get outside and soak in some of that amazing golden tan, UV overload? Or would you prefer music?
San Diego has so many talented musicians. Here is a link to the free concerts in the parks all over San Diego: Link to music in SD
So grab your sweetie, some sweets, and something to swig, and go listen to the singing....

Saturday Sunrise

Good Morning San Diego,
Wakin' up again to an amazingly beautiful day in Americas Finest.

The Americas Cup boat was out yesterday dwarfing all the large sailboats in its shadow.

Today is the day in 1947 - Steve Forbes was born, it is also national Caviar day. Kind of goes together don't ya think? No matter, I don't think he is in San Diego, so he wont be even having as much fun as us....

Wednesday Wakeup

Good Morning San Diego,

Are you ready for the July Fry? On the coast we are enjoying the cloud cover for a little while before it burns off. It burns me that we have to wait for the burn off, 'cause I cant get a great sunrise photo for you. But I'll keep trying.

Good Morning San Diego,

Up and at em. Grab that Tuesday by the tail and dont let go until it hollers.

What did that mean anyway? Country girl right? I should have asked for an explanation before everyone that might have known where these sayings possibly originated "flew the coop". (I get that one).
