Thank goodness. It’s what is saving us. Up in Oxnard where we never had AC friends are now installing it.

I think we are going to make it through this little hot spell without turning on the AC! Cool down next week.

Day 3. 27 miles. 56,243 steps. 9 1/2 hours. Still moving. Still fighting. Every step is for working families who rely on transit—and for a government that shows up for us. #WalkForTransit

This is so sad. We were a middle class family & went a lot when I was a kid because whenever anyone visited us in CA we took them there. It was still relatively expensive but not like this. Last visit was 10 years ago and I doubt we will go back now.

Since we are closing in on peak COVID surge, we are moving our train trip to Ventura from September to October. Turns out saves us $100 on the hotel. Bonus

Cool. Should have looked for that last time. We had a layover waiting for the SW Chief (before we discovered that changing trains in Fullerton is better) and walked over.

But the walk from Union Station to Little Tokyo is so unpleasant. Is there a subway stop there?(yes, I can look it up….)

Thanks to the judge, legal defense team and Anna for reporting.

Yup. Spouse once forgot to pack underwear of all things. Easily found if you are traveling to a city. I once forgot dress shoes for a reception. Also easily found at a mall. In fact I liked those shoes better than the ones I had planned to bring.

It takes years to get UVisa approved but with his good lawyer this should expedite his application review. If they actually follow the law.
Dr Compact Housedwarf (@cpthousedwarf.bsky.social)
For those unfamiliar with the U-Visa for crime victims: you get documentation, apply, get in a yrs long line (6 yrs to approval for person I helped). Once U-Visa approved, you get work permit but are in another yrs long wait for green card. In the waiting process you are not subject to removal.

Where are all the crows?🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛I hadn’t been out to toss them 🥜 in a while but last few days I didn’t see very many. Today I saw 7-8, only 3 took 🥜 but didn’t follow me for more. Is it the time of year? Not a bird expert but seems creepy not to see them. They used to follow/swarm around me. #crows

Up until now you could self verify when you filled out the forms as we did to get vaccinated more often as immunocompromised. The question now is will pharmacists start requiring a doctor’s note or some other nonsense

Right? I selected exercise daily, but since it’s just walking not running or anything that intense. OTOH from the activity calculator on the watch it takes a lot of walking to burn any calories. I can walk miles and see 90 calories burned. Sigh
Dr Compact Housedwarf (@cpthousedwarf.bsky.social)
I just used a online calculator to determine how many calories a day I should eat for age, height, weight, activity etc and it’s 1488. That’s with walking 5-8 miles a day. Curse of being little. So, Yeah, nobody come at me for how little it looks like I am eating, sigh.

Doctors note? Who knows. Up until Now it has been self attest when you fill out the forms. Just start checking those boxes when they list conditions. Also always check immunocompromised.

This is not to say they were perfect. Back then it was pretty hands off parenting. Half the time we were running amok or riding bikes through lemon groves or climbing onto the roof of the school. I could have used a little more parenting to tell the truth, & the Asian mom thing about weight is real.

My greatest generation dad was awesome, about as great as you can get. Generous, kind, brilliant, very liberal. Mom suffered from trauma of growing up in WW2 Japan, tho she was generous in her way, & my kids adored her. Am trying to model my life after my dad. Still miss him every day.
