There is literally a small creek running through my backyard. Another gully washer on the Oregon coast!

First time visiting Sporthaven Beach without the dogs. Scrambling over driftwood, dodging waves, collecting pretty rocks and shells - a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

In their interactions with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today, Trump and Vance were an embarrassment to our nation and unworthy of their offices. Let it be known that Americans support President Zelenskyy and the Ukraine against all bullies, foreign and domestic.

Across from the city park, the botanic gardens beckon. Another great place to walk the dogs. Flowers are scant this time of year, but the gardens should be glorious in the summer.

My new place includes unlimited hot water. Once again enjoying 2-hour soaks while reading a good book. Happy girl!

To remain sane over the next 4 years, I blocked all news outlets/pundits on social media save three: one left-center, one right-center, and a world news cooperative - all rated highly for factual reporting. Should help in developing informed opinions without bashing my head against the rocks.

Watched two Oscar-nominated animated features tonight: Flow and The Wild Robot. While WR tells a cute story using slick animation and great voice work, Flow's ability to convey a simpler, more compelling tale without a single spoken word makes it the superior film. Flow for the win!

You may recall that pals and I toast awful news with the cheapest champagne we can find, thus showing the event no respect. No bubbly was sufficiently foul to toast the inauguration, so went with pumpkin-spiced white wine. (Also stashed a fine cabernet in case karma kicks in.) To the next 4 years!

First guest! My neighbor and I enjoyed wine, appetizers and a movie while getting better acquainted. Similar demographics - and we both have San Francisco ties! Watching the movie "Milk" prompted many shared memories. We're planning to invite others from the complex to the next movie night.

After two visits during the Festival of Lights, I explored the city park by day for the first time. Dog friendly and only four blocks from my place!

In December, we had "king tides" - exceptionally high tides that occur when the sun, moon and Earth align. Today, we were alerted to "sneaker waves" - tall waves that occur without warning in a train of smaller waves, surprising beachgoers. Who knew moving to the Oregon coast would be such fun!

Conservatives who have stuck their collective heads in the sand about climate change have shameless nerve blaming what’s happening in LA right now on liberals.
