Do you have pride?

Ken had to run to the city this morning to fix the phones and low and behold today was the Gay Pride Parade. He hurriedly got out of the city so he didn't get caught in the mayhem. After he got home he said he wished he would have taken a few pictures before he got out of town to add to the random blog. There are some pretty "interesting" people running around on parade day. Sorry but we're picture less and we don't have pride.

Helicopter chasers

We were sitting in our family room about 5pm and we heard a helicopter flying over the house. Shelisa and I ran outside into the backyard to see what was going on. Sure enough there was a helicopter flying super low over the neighborhood and it was landing at the elementary school. We jumped in the car and drove down, but it was back up and flying around the neighborhood again. We drove around the neighborhood a bit and saw an ambulance, police and a firetruck. We saw some friends out on the street and asked them if they knew what was going on and they said someone was hurt and they had to fly them out. The helicopter landing in the church parking lot and air lifted the person out. It gave us 10 minutes of fun on a Sunday afternoon.

Only in California

Ken and I went to dinner in Walnut Creek last night. We've lived in California for almost 14 years and things don't take us by surprise anymore. We just laugh and now we put it on the random blog. So there was a group of cyclist that were protesting the closing of a bunch of California State Parks. They were riding their bike in their swimming suits (I hope) and had messages painted on their bodies. They posed for my random blog picture.

SAVE OUR STATE PARKS!
