Oroville Dam Repairs, Monday

. Oroville Dam water releases to be reduced today. Outflow reduced to zero. This will allow crews to work at the foot of the dam for debris removal. ABC10 News, 4:40 am PST.

The work is a necessary and required repair that Oroville Dam needs due to the tremendous rains recently experienced. The bottom of the spillway needs this from the previously large water releases due to the recent rains.

Want to take a Ride?

The American River bike trail, ARBT, runs with no bumps or potholes, nearly, from downtown Sacramento Discovery Park to old Folsom, both are Pony Express stops. It's 35 miles of ''green traveling'' along a well maintained asphalt pathway following the American and Sacramento rivers. Some spots are even being fenced off and replanted. . Drinking water and portable outhouses are provided, no worries for tired riders or bike tires. Very scenic, lots of trees, plants, bushes, Grey  or Ground Squirrels, the occasional pet, and of course, bicycle riders. There are many access roads from Folsom, Sacramento and places in between. Many will drive from Folsom, park the car, ride or raft to Sacramento, driving or bicycling back home. I rode one way in 3 hours, very scenic. You could be careful by having an extra tire, but that's just in case. . From the trees and such, it's a quiet ride mostly, but the trail crosses under several more than 2 lane roads, it's ''God's bicycle country''. In any case, you will see only bicyclists or joggers of both sexes only. Many days will see empty trails; however, it's a good sign in seeing others, knowing your bicycling efforts are not alone. . There is at least one sign, thank you Department of Public Works and County Parks, with 100's of Golden Poppies, California's State Flower, this 2014 Spring. . So we gravel roads run parallel for maintenance trucks that travel the route and keep all up to shape. It's well travelled, but well maintained. A riding rules and large map are available from county parks.

THANK YOU!

Thank you Tumblr for letting me upload my (from Google images) photos in about a second. I recall when it used to take ... much longer ... and had to spend the time (who wants to do that?) fiddling and fidgeting, thinking of some mundane subject. Thanks for letting me do that!

SKIN AND SLEEP

What do these two photos have in common? NOTHING, except that I seperated from a black woman and now I cannot sleep. I think it was my stupidity, Melanin colors the skin that I don’t touch now and Melatonin is the sleep (hormone) that I don’t get now. HAHA. THEY’RE DIFFERENT WORDS! I didn’t know that, now I do. Maybe knowledge does have a strong effect on sleep. I explored quite a few other realms of sleep. Thinking about it now, I’d rather sleep ... another haha. Got my laughs today.

Be Clear

    The Scientologists have a great idea. ‘Clearing’ is done to remove occlusions from your mind. It supposedly takes away all stress. It can apply in another part of your life, in another way. 

    This is not Scientology, it’s common sense. You can clear your life’s stress by removing all troubling matter out. This provides ‘peaceful’ experiences that can be much more desired. Having no stress…
