Is it really June

Following up on my previous post on rediscovering the area, I got very little feedback on places to visit but I've been making a list based on pictures, articles and books.

The weather has been beautiful, instead of the normal summer fog and I took advantage of it and visited some places near by. Just off Hwy 35 at Daly City is a little parking lot and walkway to a vista point/overlook. It's basically a little parking lot and a little walk area but pretty none the less. There are wild flowers and fields beyond the little vista but it's fenced off, however people seem to just go past the fence as there are trails and foot prints beyond.



I have been meaning to take CPR/AED (Automatic External Defribilator) training for some time now and finally did it last week. The CPR protocol has changed and mouth to mouth is no longer required for a witnessed collapse.

Due to the many issues faced in Louisina after Katrina, all public servants are being required to sign documentation stating that they will report to work should an incident occur and a great deal of additional training is being required, to make sure people understand their roles as Disaster Service Workers. I had to take on orientation in incident command structure, basically it's a course on the importance of everyone being on the same protocol in responding to incidents. California is well prepared and has both a structure and emergency plan, sadly only 6 states in all have a plan and Lousiana still does not have a plan.

I went out to Pacifica Pier on Sunday. I never realized there was a little beach there. I spent some time on the sand (the sand is very dark and course), walking, writing and getting wet (brrr!). I don't think I've ever gotten my fet wet at the beaches here, strange....

Very cool, I had no idea there was a nice little pier and beach over there. At least it hasn't been too cold lately to get so close to the water.

I keep forgetting to ask you, which 6 states have plans in place. Oh, we recently got M a wooden puzzle map of the USA, I am slowly getting reacquainted with all the state capitols, state names, and their locations.

I think my eyes are really tired, I read CPR/AED as "crapped", lol.
