Kudos to Caltrans for the new 4-5 foot center divider they have erected on the 710. This will help to reduce traffic due to looky-loos and promote safety. I have seen the result of an accident in which a huge big rig actually squashed a car atop the little center divider and made its way over onto the other side. I believe at least 2 people will were killed in that, so every little bit helps. On a side note - never good to cut off a big rig since they can't stop on a dime. A truck driver at one of my old post-college jobs told me they need at least one foot for every mph they are traveling to stop. (i.e. 30 feet to stop if they are goign 30 mph)
Marley & Me by John Grogan - I finally picked this book up after seeing it in paperback at Target and in hardback everywhere else - and read it on my way to and from SF. GREAT book. Everyone knows I love doggies but don't have one besides Spot the Superdog. Well, this is a great story about a man and his dog, Marley, a labrador retriever - or a labrador evader as they call him. It's quick and easy reading and it'll have you laughing out loud.
Charlotte's got rhythm - little Charlotte tries to snap her fingers when she sees us doing it - so eventually I'd start snapping my fingers and singing the Lil Jon song "Snap Yo Fingers" and she'd start bopping her head to it. So cute! For more cuteness, you can watch:

- I'm taking the video so she occasionally waves back at me, as well as stops to eat her toes and snap her fingers.
Good news! Endo tells me Echo from the Pedigree dog food commercial was adopted. You know ... the doggie that some meanie walked past even though she put on her best smile. Who knows if it was real or not, but I feel much better: www.dogsrule.com
