Why does some strange woman keep calling me asking if me I need to renew the warranty on my car? Why is she so concerned?

October is Breast Cancer awareness month. I’m sure you have all noticed all the pink ribbons and the fact that the NFL all have donned pink laces, pink sweat bands and pink shoes. Oddly enough I went to get my mammy’s grammed and there wasn’t one single pink ribbon anywhere in that place. Do you think THEY know it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

Why don’t men get hot flashes?

Speaking of men. Kahuna and I were sitting in front of the television slack jawed and drooling watching the 4000 innings of the Angels and Yankees Play-off game the other night. It was the bottom of the 3976 inning when he looked at me and said “why are the players wearing their bike chains around their necks?” I looked and sure enough a good portion of those players had evidently done the right thing for the planet and rode their bicycles to the park.

See look they have their bike chain around their neck. Sad thing is they aren’t too smart because if it’s around their neck chances are they forgot to put it on their bike and it’s done gone.

My overheard this week came at the imaging center. We were sitting in the waiting room when a woman came in and asked the receptionist how long the wait was.

The receptionist smiled and said “about an hour. Did you want to wait?”

The woman smiled and said “could I just leave my boobs here and come back for them later?”

The receptionist said “sure I’ll just put them here in the booby hatch.”

I heart that receptionist.

So that is what a booby hatch looks like.

The weather this week has been pleasant but we are in the beginnings of the Santa Ana winds. Now if you don’t know what I’m talking about listen to what Joan Didion said "it is hard for people who have not lived in Los Angeles to realize how radically the Santa Ana figures in the local imagination....Los Angeles weather is the weather of catastrophe, of apocalypse, and, just as the reliably long and bitter winters of New England determine the way life is lived there, so the violence and the unpredictability of the Santa Ana affect the entire quality of life in Los Angeles, accentuate its impermanence, its unreliability."

For us it means the coyotes come close to the house and cry and scream. I woke the other night from a dream where I was searching for a crying baby. I sat bolt upright in bed only to realize the crying baby was actually the coyotes calling to the Santa Ana’s. Then I yelled back into the black of night “The Dingo took my BAHBEE!”
