Election 2014 a photo collection

I had a great experience working as an inspector for the election yesterday, but a tiring one at that. My day began at 4:45 AM yesterday and ended at 9:30 PM last night, and learned much about our voting process. The firemen of Station 64 were just the best hosts you could ask for, made many pots of coffee for us in between answering help calls throughout the day. Did you know you can vote from the curb while in your vehicle? I mentioned this to the handicapped voters for the next election in two years. And the blue machine is used for audio voting, yet no one opted to employee the machine. I will be back for the next election as it was a very rewarding experience.

Los Angeles Times Pressmens Dinner Oct. 28th

On Tuesday October 28th, at 5:00 P.M. the pressmen and women will gather in San Dimas for drinks and maybe even some solid food. The original restaurant, The Taco Factory, unfortunately went out of business, with the new owner of the Himalayan Cafe eager to have our business. I have not tried the food yet, but it certainly gives off some great aromas, that I look forward to trying.

This event is open to anyone that would like to join us

Let me know if you're planning to attend:

Snow in California

My daughter Kristine called this morning and asked if it had snowed in San Dimas, and I told her it was cold but we had no snow. She said there was snow on her car when she left for work in Rancho Cucamonga at 7:00 this morning. Now this is unusual, but not unheard of. The San Dimas Post Office has a photograph in the lobby with San Dimas dusted in snow ten years ago.

The Missing Doctor

I feel like venting this afternoon over an experience at the medical clinic today, and I’m certain many of you can relate to this.

My daughter Joanna had an appointment to see her doctor at 10:30 this morning, so I was in no hurry to arrive on time, as the wait is generally about twenty to thirty minutes. So we arrived at 10:40, signed in and grabbed a seat, with Joanna watching television and myself reading the Los Angeles Times.

After forty-five minutes Joanna started to get antsy and asked me if we could reschedule for another day, I told her we would give them fifteen more minutes before doing so. At 11:40 I asked for another appointment, which we made for next Friday at 10am, and requested a phone call ten minutes prior to when the doctor would be available. The receptionist said she could only call one day ahead to remind us of our appointment, so much for saving another wait.

If we miss an appointment with the doctor we are charged $10.00, I wonder if this works in reverse, will I be compensated for the doctor missing my daughter’s appointment?
