Live in CA

It's been quite a while since I wrote anything, I know. When we got home from whale watching that day, the breaker on the pole outside had flipped. This was a Saturday. Harley was so hot that it took him about 4 hours to stop panting hard. He even let me put bags of ice under him--he usually doesn't do that. The breaker flipped again the next day. The temperature was over 100. We had gone to church. When we got home, it must have just flipped. The magic fan (runs off of the battery) is set to go off when it gets above 80, and it wasn't running yet. The park owners don't work on the weekend. On Monday, they came and fixed the breaker. After that, our breaker for the back air conditioner started flipping and getting hot. We were very thankful that we worked nights so that we could be here with the dogs during the day. On the days we had off, we didn't leave unless we took the dogs with us. One Sunday evening we took the dogs to Morro Bay, to the beach. That was wonderful! It is so beautiful there. There is a bird sanctuary on either side of the doggie beach so there were so many birds flying around as the sun was setting. The next day I checked into RV parks down there (the temperature is much cooler--many people don't even have AC). They were all booked until January!! The next evening we went to the drive in movie theater. The next week we drove Highway 1 up the coast. We got up to Pebble Beach before it got dark. Last week it cooled down to the mid 80's every day. NOW I can see why people live here. It really is a beautiful place with so many different beautiful areas near by. I don't think I've been anywhere before that is so varied. I'm most suprised that most of CA is small towns. Of course there's LA and San Fran, but otherwise it's pretty much just small towns. Work is still going pretty good. I'm minutely shocked that the hospital is so behind the times. When we were in nursing school, they always told us that the east and west coast had the most progressive hospitals. Maybe that's true in the larger cities, but I haven't seen it here. If something happens to us, I hope that they take us to Stanford (3 hours away). We're hoping to stay here until December, but we're still working out a small detail (time off together every other weekend). I'll tell you about this past weekend later.
