Day One of My Life in California


November 14th, 2012:

(Actually day two if you count last night, because I did arrive in California on November 13th at about 7:30 pm, but that was 10:30 pm Rahway time. So it doesn’t really count).

Ross and I went to March Air Force Base (which is actually now March Joint Air Reserve Base), located in Riverside.

Our purpose: to obtain a military ID for me. We did not accomplish our mission. Yet.
We now have an appointment for 8:00 next Monday morning. We did get to see a bit of the base though, and we visited the weather station.
On the way back, we drove through Moreno Valley. We’d been this way previously, and had seen the “Burro Crossing” signs.  I admit that I had doubted the existence of these wild burros. But I was wrong. They are there! We have seen them! Just wandering around! Wild! No, really! We drove right up near them.  Now, when is the last time you did THAT in Rahway?
We were going to try to get my county ID after that but DMV was really crowded (imagine that!) so we went grocery shopping and then headed home. We saw some police action over on Fremontia Drive. Turns out a 76 year old woman’s body was discovered by her son when he arrived to pick her up for a doctor's appointment. "There was evidence of foul play and there was trauma to the victim," said police Lt. Paul Williams. "This is a very sad situation." Indeed!
I made Cinnamon Apple Pork Chops for dinner (aka: “Sexy Porkchops”).  No, honestly, I did!  They were actually pretty good if I do say so myself. Ross concurs.  “Very good”, he said. “ The caramelized apples actually made the green beans taste good.” Kelso liked them, too! (The pork chops, not the apples).
