Goose Poop Acres is the truth!
I am hoping my neighbor lady goes on vacation.
Soon. Really really soon.

Why, oh why, does she like those stupid geese?

Did I ever tell you how much I hate those Canada geese?

Tomorrow morning I have a special post going up on my blog. It is the 40th anniversary of our surviving the detonation of thousands of bombs en route to Vietnam. Anyone who lived in this area and is my age will remember when the trains exploded. My house was almost completely destroyed but my husband, children and I survived. I would be honored for my friends here to read the post. I have worked on it most of the day. Very emotional to bring it all back up. I scheduled the post to go live at 8:03 a.m. the exact time the first bomb went off.

April 28, 1973..... I was living in California at the time. Fallbrook. Mike was in the Marine Corps. We were expecting our second child. I remember the time, but not that event. WHY can't I remember that??? I look forward to reading your blog. I am soooo happy that you survived that and are here with us today!

1973... I was a week away from turning 15... but it seems I remember it on the nightly news (Huntley & Brinkley) (Were they a team back then?) and our family discussing it at the dinner table.

That was a year and a half before me but will read it for sure. It seems like I heard that when I was a kid but I am not sure

It is 1022 here..... soooo, 0822 there?
I still don't see it posted.

 

[The Sheriff]

It is posted now. There is no a.m. or p.m. choice when scheduling a post. I put 08:03 and it must have planned it for p.m. instead of a.m.

Sorry.

Here is a 1993 satellite map of the area. IN 1973 the only houses that were there are the ones circled in yellow. The red circle was our house. The red X is where the bombs went off. All that space between us and the tracks was vacant land. That is where the people in the photo were standing.
