Yesterday in Livermore

Topanga spent the night with us on Thursday and all day Friday.  Serenity, Topanga and I walked over to Cafe Art and I left them there to spend a couple of hours doing some ceramic painting, I'll show some photos of those when they are finally done. 

We had lunch at La Pupusa House, a Salvadoran restaurant just across the street from us.

The History of the Pupusa
Pupusas were created by the Pipiles,  an indigenous people from El Salvador who spoke a dialect called Pipil. A pupusa (the Pipiles called it "pupusawa") is a thick, corn tortilla filled with any assortment of vegetables, pork, beef or seafood. Before hand-shaping a pupusa it is filled with the stuffing of your choice and cooked on a griddle - Not deep fried! A pupusa is equivalent to the pizza of Italy or the taco of Mexico, and the sky's the limit in selecting your favorite stuffing. Enjoy!

I especially love them because you can get them vegetarian or even full on vegan if you want to, and they are so YUMMY!  When Mike and Maryann came over to pick up Topanga last night Lora and the girls were sent by Maryann for more pupusas!  Woo hoo.  :-)  Serenity went to spend last night at Mike and Maryann's so I have this nice quiet morning to myself right now, woo hoo again ;-)

Later on yesterday, since it was a nice cozy 85 degrees, we enjoyed several hours of loafing at the pool...

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
