The first 18 years of my life was spent in Hawaii.  Just before starting college, I flew to stay with my brother in Oxnard to work for the summer at the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory in Port Hueneme, California.  Oxnard is 60 miles north of Los Angeles. In September of 1958 my brother drove me to the Stanford Campus, located about 35 miles south of San Francisco.  I recall crossing from the west side to the East Bay area on Friday nights to the Garden of Allah, to dance and see entertainers like Bobby Preston and Marty Robbins.  After I graduated in 1962, over the past 62 years, I've returned to San Francisco at least 50 times. Mind you, I don't really like SFO weather.  It's almost always too cold for me.  Something enchanting about the fog, which comes and goes.  But bicycling to class at 7:30AM in the winter was not comfortable.  Stanford is a bit warmer than SFO, but still much to cold in the winter.  In fact, I remember on  21January1962  when it snowed so much on

But first, I note that we are less than three weeks away from November 5, when we learn if we will continue to have a Democracy,.,..or NOT.   I read an article wondering why Michelle Obama has not actively supported Kamala Harris .  First, she is concerned about her safety.  Second, she says she is not a politician.  However, she most definitely will be with Harris in the stretch run.  Michelle will be well-protected if campaigning with Kamala. Did you see Donald Trump at his bizarre town hall gathering in Oaks, Pennsylvania?  Niece Mary Trump says he is decompensating before our eyes.  She is a clinical psychologist, and said  Trump exhibited signs of severe mental deterioration . Not much walking yesterday. The Norwegian Encore approaching port, California just north of San Francisco, then entrance under the Golden Gate Bridge. My view seat with scotch. Notice the fog obscuring the top of the bridge. Sutro Tower. Boudin Bakery, home of sourdough bread since 1849, a year after the beg
