The Start of Winter

No, it's not fire; it's sunrise on a cloudy day-- looking south from Trumball Street in Point Loma.

October has been a weird month. A week after the fires it grew cold, very cold. It's cold this weekend; a Santa Ana event was predicted but I don't see much evidence outside.

This morning a woman stopped me as I was carrying my yoga mat and chair down to Sunset Cliffs for my meditation. She too meditates there every morning and she is always happy to see me because her meditations are more powerful when I am there with her. That was a nice thing to hear.

There was a brouhaha at my condo complex and, being on the board, I was privy to the complainant's letter. She was upset because her dog was leashed and the other was not, so why was she being fined? The other dog owner falsely accused her of having an unleashed dog, too.

She responded [sic] Oh, Cointreau! My dog was on a leash.

Thinking of that made me smile throughout the day.
