This was at Swami's in Encinitas. November 13, we had minus tide and the reef was exposed with fish and other little creatures trapped and waiting for the ocean to come back in. The little dots in the water and about 20 surfers enjoying the 75 degree water. Low tides are amazing!

Grammy next to a huge jet. Check out the missles under the wings. This jet was actually used in missions over Vietnam. Top speed of 575 mph. It could be at 175 mph in 3 seconds. Smokin'....

This is a picture from the control tower on the Midway aircraft carrier. The flight deck is loaded with jets. San Diego skyline is in the background.

Grammy is in there, it is just dark. We visited the Midway aircraft carrier-wow that is one awesome ship. Huge and filled with jets, helicopters and big guns. About two blocks long and goes one mile on 260 gallons of fuel. Really worth seeing. It is Veteran's Day and about 100 servicemen were sworn in as American citizens on the flight deck. Congrats to them and THANK YOU to all who serve!

I am putting firewood in our little wood stove as we get ready for the cooler weather and maybe some snow.

It was a little chilly up in Anza this weekend and Grammy is hard at work grading papers in the shadow of a beautiful mural depicting the view of Idyllwild from our front yard in Anza. Thanks to Rachelle. We went up to relax and do a few chores but the weather is starting to chill but nice.
