Java Joe's

Yup, that's right.... Java Joe's. That's where I am right now, burning off a few hours until the boat containing my passengers arrives from Channel Islands National Park. In case you haven't heard of that one, maybe it's because you can't drive there. Pull out the old atlas and look off the California coast, near Ventura. There they are, several islands with names like Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and San Miguel. My hikers went to Santa Rosa, I dropped them off several days ago, today they return, tired, smelly, but content (I hope). The return to San Diego should be uneventful, and it's only a couple hundred miles, "local" for me *grin*. So, anyhow, I found this cozy little coffee shop called Java Joe's, and lo and behold, they have free wi-fi. Right now I'm enjoying some blues while working on my cup of java and posting to my blog. Gee, sounds like I'm a real Netizen, hey? Can't say I'm "20th century"! I just noticed the spellchecker did NOT prompt me on "Netizen", obviously the spellchecker's not "20th century" either.

That time of year....

Welcome back! I guess I'm overdue to post, as well. But, it's that time of year at the bus company... work, work, work! A lot of the work this time of year isn't particularly difficult, just often, long hours. A lot of SPAB runs; School Pupil Activity Bus. Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, you get the idea. I'm working today, had a 17-hour day yesterday.
