Title: Living in the land of Maroons
Post by: JC w KC redux on October 24, 2019, 08:04:03 PM: Got another notice 90 minutes ago that the power may be cut off in the next 36 to 48 hours.

Any way the wind blows...

How will you cook your lentils??

Clink, start drinking the beer!!

I’ll have to check with pops to see if they are impacted or if it’s them rural Santa Cruz areas.

Nope Sunnyvale is pretty stable.

Post by: JC w KC redux on October 25, 2019, 08:52:56 AM: I dropped Kat and two of her gal pals at Castle Rock today so they can backpack Skyline to the Sea the next few days. I could not believe that new parking lot. I drove Skyline and then Summit Rd to Soquel San Jose Rd to get home. Don't miss any of that drive and some of the people I encountered on that road were either maniacs or maroons.

I thought I saw Neil Young walking his dog at the Christmas Tree farm :guitar: :blahblah: :yesnod: :lol:

I felt like I was back in Kentucky! :eeeek: :crazy: :yikes:

Post by: JC w KC redux on October 26, 2019, 11:59:15 AM: What a difference a day makes - scorching yesterday and perfect today with a light breeze.

I expect the power to be cut off any time as evening approaches

It was a perfect day here last time they did it too.

A week or so ago it was pretty windy here (much windier than when they cut the power last time) but not a word.

Shoulda gone to Pinns a day early. :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin:

They shut the moss landing plant down.

They really need a nuclear power plant.

Nope.

- I drove home this evening without encountering any traffic delays;

- It's quiet outside our house;

- We've go no lights on our street;

- People up here aren't angry all the time;

- It smells like a beautiful forest outside our house... oh, wait.

NEW NEIL YOUNG AND CRAZY HORSE LP OUT NOW!!!!!!

As a huge Neil Young AND Crazy Horse fan (since college in the early 80s), I listened to that song (and thanks for posting it).

I liked it. I'm going to check out the whole album. And man is his voice distinctive!
Title: Re: Living in the land of Maroons
Post by: NOAL on October 28, 2019, 09:20:20 PM: It's OK to be angry sometimes. Just save it for bad things or people.

I have not listened to the whole new Neil Young yet but the little bit I did sounds pretty good.

My favorite Neil Young with Crazy Horse (excepting Harvest cause everybody says Harvest is their favorite) is Tonights the Night. Then, After the Gold Rush, Yuma, Rust Never Sleeps, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, On the Beach, Live Rust, Stars and Bars...........

While I grew up in the hills above Cupertino and had my share of blackouts. I must say living in town, in a town-home, is nice as the power rarely goes out & central heat/ac is quite nice.
