Tuesday Walkabout

commentary, Personal home, Jim Reeves, neighborhood, walkabout Leave a comment
My house is down there somewhere.
So I’ve lived in my current residence 14 years now. This evening I took a stroll around the neighborhood. Second time I’ve done that, and the first time was just a couple of weeks ago. This picture is taken about a half a mile from my house, looking back towards it. The fence is around the school where I attended for a short time, back in the 4th or 5th grade.
The total walk was 1.85 miles, as best I can figure it, using Precision Mapping. I can see that I need to buy some walking shoes, if I’m going to do this very often. The shoes I wore are clearly not made for walking.

I spent yesterday, Monday, in the middle of nowhere, ‘helping’ Ted set up wireless internet infrastructure for a client of his company. Microwave links from from civilization (Fresno), to the boonies, down to a home so remote the driveway is several miles long! Geekiness all day long!

Damn! I’ll be at work at the appointed time.
Oh, wait, no I won’t! Maybe there’s time to plan something! 😉

My Harvey Milk Day commentary was published today in the Visalia Times Delta.
Check it out, here.
The paper will put it behind a paywall in a week, so after then I’ll post the text here. Until then, go read it at on their website, or buy a copy of the paper. Or two or three copies!
I’m getting antsy

I’m expecting something tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last shift before vacation, too. And of course, the big shindig on Saturday. Overall, I’m just on pins and needles!

“My name is Harvey Milk, and I’m here to recruit you.”
Making this statement during public appearances, Harvey Milk was recruiting people to come out of the closet. He felt this action was the most important thing people in the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community could do to ensure their civil rights. If more people were aware of the gay associates, friends, family and loved ones around them, it would become impossible for most of them to continue past habits of discrimination.
Sunday, May 22, is the second annual California Harvey Milk Day. It’s a day to remind all Californians of the ability of one person to make a difference.
