TRAGEDY IN
FLORIDA shocks my sensibility! No!
No! Not again! Yet, I know other horrendous acts have
occurred before on our U.S. soil, though not quite of this magnitude. I
want to rant and rail at the injustice but know others who may read this have
also felt the same emotions, thought the same words which I would only be
echoing. I join the multitudes across the nation and the world sympathizing those who've experienced loss, sending well wishes for those physically injured and the survivors -- so many families and friends impacted.

CALIFORNIA
WRAP-UP of 2016 Presidential Primary Election with Democratic Hilliary Clinton
and Republican Donald Trump the top vote-getters. Our
state had less than 50% of registered voters participating – more than our last
election, but not as much participation as in 2008.
One
proposition that passed may have attracted voters -- allows California state
legislators to be suspended without pay for corruption. This came about when three state legislators
who had been suspended were discovered to still be legally collecting their
salaries.
What will it
take to motivate participation of more voters in November?
EARTHQUAKE
5.2 STRENGTH shook my chair in the wee hours one morning last week, but was mild in
comparison to others I’ve felt in years past.
The predicted "Big One" is yet to
come at some unknown time.
LA NINA is
expected to follow our El Nino winter which disappointingly brought little rain
to Southern California. Typically La
Nina follows which means a dry hot period which we may experience for another 3
or 4 years.
ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAM results determined I'm still alive. Basically I'm fine except for what's wrong with me -- but that's been true most of my life.
INTERNET CONNECTION has been inconsistent. Frontier purchased the wired portion of services which includes those I use from Verizon a few months ago and possibly some of the problems that came with it. Hopefully the technical people will remedy this frustrating situation.
