Fired

These townhomes on the part of Riverside Boulevard that actually runs along the riverside have been stalled in construction for over a year. Yesterday they got torched. The fire was so hot, it jumped the road and burned the grass on the levee, too. On the map, the footprints of the five incomplete units of 24 that were to be built are shown on the vacant area. Of the 5, only half of this end unit is still standing. Insurance? Vandalism? Accident? Stay tuned ...

Aunt Ginny

Ten years ago, Ginny came to visit in 110-degree July heat. This year, the weather was a little more palatable. She was in California to introduce her company's veterinary products, and was able to arrange a couple of days in Sacramento to visit us again. We went to dinner at Scott's Seafood on the River, and ordered a pizza the second night. Hoping it won't be that long before we see her again!
