Above – after not being too satisfied with Lynn’s attempt at making coffee, we made a Starbucks stop after class yesterday morning.
Here are some photos of Alo I received last week (at Martinez). 
Amtrak. 
Alo likes trains (look in his hand).

I haven’t even been gone 24 hours and it looks like I’ve already missed thunderstorms and an Ocean Beach house fire. Luckily the 2 people inside and their pet turtle made it out safely.

You can’t beat this find on Airbnb Where I’m staying. Here’s the living room/kitchen area. 
And here’s my bedroom.
This is really awesome. There’s a real sword on one of the shelves as a decoration.
Jack fruit anyone? These things are as big as large watermelons.
According to Wikipedia, “It is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia, and is believed to have originated in the southwestern rain forests of India, in present-day Goa, Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and Maharashtra. The jackfruit tree is well suited to tropical lowlands, and its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit, reaching as much as 35 kg (80 lb) in weight, 90 cm (35 in) in length, and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter.”
Maharashtra? I’ll be there next month!
1st class today – 8:30 am.

Last night we paid an early birthday visit to Maya since I’ll be gone for her real birthday celebration. We got her a Cinderella dress up dress and accessories and hand me down ice cream cake.
I guess she was planning on wearing the dress to bed.
Even Sparty liked the “light up” shoes.
Well, I’ve landed & must be on my way.

Chili Cook-Off – I wonder if this is the same as the toilet-on-wheels riding, paper reading person float in the last Holiday Parade.
Maya didn’t want anything to do with the mime. Sparty, on the other hand …
Super Skaters!
Num Num, Corndog!
I ran into a couple friends from high school.
Linda (Haselton) Burke 
Andy LeBaron 
After the Street Fair we went to the Kids Fair at Liberty Station.
Maya got to meet Cinderella, and also got a hug!
Then some dress-up.
What a happy girl!
It was a long day!

A belated post, but here are pictures sent to me from Robb’s Father’s Day.
I have a lot of catching up to do in the next couple days. Stay tuned.

RJT/RT4 Electric is up & running!
We have the early morning shift today 5:30-7:30am with Maya & Sparty. It’s 6am. Sparty’s already up & Maya’s still snoozing. I think I’m still snoozing too …

Our babies are gone – above is one of the babies after it left the nest last week.
We were so sad to see them go, we went to the pet store and bought a feeder, dove food and mealie worms hoping to keep them around. Plus I think Bruce thought the babies needed us to continue to support them. Isn’t that what parents do?
Now we have another hanging pot occupied by nesting mom and dad. This one we can see from the deck outside our bedroom. I’ll try to get a photo soon but don’t want to scare them at this early stage.
Yesterday I had NINE students in my yoga studio! Here they are doing inversions. The ones in the foreground are doing Halasana (plow pose), and the ones in the back are doing a variation of Salamba Sarvangasana (supported all limbs pose aka shoulder stand). One of my students is being scheduled for two shoulder replacements, so I’ve got her doing a variation with legs up the wall to keep the pressure off her shoulders.

Looks like Alo’s changed his profession from police officer to fireman.
Looks like a fun play date! & he’s not letting go of those trains.

After Nati’s yesterday we took Maya to the beach to see the crabs. Although they’re perfectly harmless, she didn’t want to have anything to do with them. A lot more had washed onto the beach since we were there in the morning, and the water looked like it was bubbling there were so many squirming around. Here’s a clip.
Maya had my phone in the back seat checking out my pictures & when I got my phone back, there was an extra photo on it I didn’t take …
