This iconic image is still attached to one of the buildings downtown. It’s right out in the open for anyone to see. Can YOU guess WHERE it is located?

Men At Work – June 4
June 4, 2010They’ve started tearing up our street:
At first glance you wouldn’t think there is anything wrong with our street, no potholes or such, but this is what I was told:
We’re prepping for a keep-seal program. What we’re doing is taking out the bad stuff, putting in the good stuff. And then over the summer, or in about a month or so … it’s a two part process. The first part is the gravel and oil. Oil and rock will go down as the first sealer, and in about a month after that we’re going to put a black scooter seal on top of it. The oil is thick enough and has polymers and things like that to seal the cracks. That will seal the street to save it for another twenty years.

Campbell Farmers Market – Sunday
February 12, 2010Perfect location!
The secret to its success, in my opinion, is that it is OPEN every week, rain or shine. Willow Glen would do well to find a more visible venue on Saturdays, and establish just as frequent a presence.

Really Wild Pool Party
September 8, 2009Those screechings you may have heard last night at 3 AM were coming from our backyard. I ran out there with a flashlight and found a couple of raccoons swimming in the pool. The bright light scared one of them into climbing out and up the fence. The other continued dog paddling in circles nonchalantly in the water. It had sounded like they were fighting with each other. Maybe just having a good time.
By the time I fetched my camera, this one was off into the neighbors yard.
Remember that 1968 Burt Lancaster movie “The Swimmer“?
