The Sundial Bridge was designed by world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, who says he thinks it "resembles a bird in flight and symbolizes the overcoming of adversity."

Not only that, but they have the nicest employees! Here I am saying "Thanks for the lift!" to my good-natured Chico delivery gal who not only hand-delivered me to the doorstep of my blog-mistress, but took time out of her busy schedule for this spontaneous photo op with Yours Truly. (I gave her my card, so I hope she sees this!) Yep, fast service - friendly employees - and a sense of humor! That's MY kind of ride!

How come I haven't been blogging and WHY IS IT SO DARK?!? Because of a nasty winter storm, with wind gusts of up to 163 mph, that slammed into California early Friday morning...knocking down trees and electrical power to much of the state...including my old hometown, Chico, where my trusty blog-mistress lives! The poor thing has been without electricity (or an internet connection!) ever since...and she just found out that power may not be restored for another 3 to 5 DAYS! ACK!!! Though she assures me that she and her family are safe and their basic needs are being met...I do worry about her mental state...she is already exhibiting early signs of "blog withdrawl"...actually trying to post to my blog via candlelight! I hope she's careful...candles can be dangerous.....
I've offered DaddyP what support I can from half-way 'round the world, and am now calling on reinforcements...that's YOU, dear readers...does anyone out there recognize Petrov (34C), or have any helpful suggestions for DaddyP regarding what to do with him?
OK, this is the "G" rated version of my ROCKING New Jersey Chaperon's cake ~ you may use your imagination (or, at your own risk, click on the cake) for a depiction of the original "adult" version!

And at dinner, I think I presented myself
They broke out the f'ing dessert!
Next thing I know, I'm all snuggled up to a big ol' good lookin'
And
Crap! The Best Friend found me!
So she stuck me on My Chaperon for safe-keeping.
Even so, I managed to wriggle free (they don't call me a Traveling Bra for nuthin!)...and was headin' upstairs, when...Crap! The BF found me AGAIN!
This time she stuck me on her MAN!
...and was delighted to see that my bottle was still half full!
Oh yeah...like THESE two are gonna keep track of me!
Finally, fed up with all my shenanigans - My Chaperon sat me down, gave me a good yank and...BINGO!
And we all ended up having the BESTEST, HAPPIEST
F'ING NEW YEARS EVE EVER!
