Our local public radio station, KQED, fm 88.5 was broadcasting a 6 part series:  

(The above is a link to these programs.) 


Seeing the world through my eyes only...
Alameda Point (aka Naval Air Station) as it waits for a real makeover.
...it's only a question of time that both the walls and bridges need to and/or will come down, whether it be decades or centuries.

In that time period, much can be done but it's all mental, before it can become physical. 
It has to be thought before it becomes 'something.'

People can dig holes under walls, climb over them, blow them up, build them up. 


People can float under bridges, walk over them, blow them up, 
or allow them to rot in disrepair. 

In all cases, it's all about fear. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real! 
What is false is always false, no matter who//what/where/where/why/and how! 

What people in high places say needs to be questioned! 
And that's the bottom line. How the question is asked will elicit a decent or ugly response. 

And that's why I love America. 
We're groups of people, all kinds, learning and teaching each other. 

And we can't let freedom disappear. 

Walls will come down, but bridges (well maintained) will bring us together. 
Too simple. Very challenging. Rise up! Get on with it.


Live richly, marilyn.

A dear friend shared this photo with me.  It's a good reminder that if I have something to say, think twice before saying it! Another friend said she and her husband (who have owned a business here in A-town) are hitting the road in a motor home! They are shutting down the biz. It's the same type of motor home, as some other friends! They will be traveling to Bryce Canyon and beyond. I started to laugh out loud as I remembered that my family (mom, dad, 3 younger brothers, and myself), piled into the station wagon and we were headed to Utah. We would be seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Both are beautiful...but you look up to see the mountains @ Zion and you look down to see the huge valley @ Bryce. And if you're cynical, you might whine that it's just a bunch of rocks.  Knowing what I know now, I would never take any kids to either place. The drive is too long, and they would get bored and blah blah blah.  Shortly after that, we moved back to Newport Beach (fr

Follow me on my Alameda Real Estate blog ! Kind of like the eclipse (it seldom happens but it's astounding when it does), in the last 12 days I had my hair cut, a mani/pedi done, my teeth cleaned, and my face cleaned up. I don't even remember when these items last happened in such a short time period. I felt like a million bucks. And then I started thinking about how often does the first of the month happen to be on a Sunday? Turns out google knows via the TimeandDate.com website (which is kinda fascinating). And it's more often than I thought. Oct 1st will be the next time a Sunday is the first of the month. And then I started thinking about the autumnal equinox. I mean, who doesn't? Maybe the question should be 'What are you talking (thinking) about, Marilyn?' This is my favorite time of year....autumn, fall, the space between summer and winter. The light outdoors is so sharp during the fall, even though there's less of it. As a very rank amat
