Our Friend Joe's Service
Our friend Joe left us much too soon. The lives he touched were many. This is a small tribute to him. The words below are from the Rosary Service ...
"When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last wary mile, just forget if you can that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done, forget that I ever had a heartache and remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Rememeber I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day, then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west stand for a few moments beside me and remember only the best."
The beautiful song is by Daniel Ho and Herb Ohta Jr. "I'll Remember You"

Peace to All

"The Cat in the Hat"
We had a great opportunity to read to our local kindergarden class to help promote reading for children. They were very excited to have us there.
We even got to wear the Official "Cat in the Hat" headwear. We had fun.
In addition to reading to the kids, Lowell thought that it would be a great idea to bring his ukulele and have the kids learn how stories were passed on in the Hawaiian culture through song. We involved the kids in a fun version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from the Lion King Movie. They loved it and so did we! Enjoy!!

Speed Kills
On February 23, 2007 we were dispatched to a "TC" (traffic collision) on Hueneme Rd. Upon our arrival we first saw a purple car upsidedown. We did not see the silver car at first. There was one person in the purple car who was upside down and had to be extricated. The silver car's driver was sitting on the curb with the police officers. Apparently these two cars were "road racing" each other at speeds of at least 100 miles per hour and touched each other and then the purple car flipped and flew down the street landing on its top. Speed kills ... be safe!

Bot Dots
Bot Dots are the little blue reflective markers that are placed in the street to mark where fire
hydrants are located. In the picture with the fire hydrant I put the bot dot right next to the hydrant so that you could see the size of the dot. They are really not that big yet they have to endure lots of traffic and abuse. We check hydrants yearly to make sure that access is clear for us in addition to making sure that the dots are still in place. Here is the caulking gun with the liquid nails that we use to glue the dots to the street.
We place the dot, usually somewhere near the middle of the street so that traffic from either direction can see the dot. Here is Lowell pressing the dot down on the street.
