Last Notes npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Short answer for me is yes to all of the above. Heartburn, GERD, a chest-gripping sensation like a heart attack, lower abdominal pain, distended stomach, diarrhea, weakness... and the eventual emergence of other auto-immune disorders (psoriasis and lactose intolerance). npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Yeah it was hot in San Francisco today, upper 80s. Low 80s inside the house (no air conditioning here). npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Thanks, sun whisperer. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz This morning, 6:46 a.m. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Everything about this is 👍 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz A mile! npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz 💔 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz This update is 👍 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz You didn't need this extra work and worry... that's pretty much a given.

In the meantime, we are all sending our best to you three. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Just one puff of wind up the ass and suddenly she started strutting around like Marilyn Monroe 🙄 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz I shall call you Dahlia, the flower whisperer. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Ooooh. I just discovered there are three programmable settings on my camera. So - purely for science and absolutely, definitely not because it would make me more popular - I have set them to cats, flowers, and birds. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Mick Jagger npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz So one last personal post this week, because today would have been my ex-boyfriend, college roommate, and lifelong friend Cal's 74th birthday.

I must have taken leave of my senses.

The GT, with a 6 cylinder and 140 HP, was much faster. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Harrison Street npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Happy anniversary to both of you ❤️❤️❤️ npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz 🙄 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz 25th and Harrison npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz A crane. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Animals are Zen... except when it comes to that food chain thing. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Parting Glances. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz You're stuck with me too 😁 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz The pink badge on his shirt says MAKE OUT NOT WAR and I couldn't agree more. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Ceiling skylight. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz lol npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Definitely the Eddie Haskell of the bunch. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Undoubtedly followed by an epic hangover. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Also, the last picture looks like it was taken from the circular drive and parking lot for Coit Tower. The bushes have grown a lot taller since then, so this view isn't possible anymore. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz The Victorian with bay windows is up above the intersection with Montclair. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Well it's pretty much the same in 2025... except the world has color now.😏 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz "Treatable" is the best and most magical word. 👍 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Flood all you want. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Wait wait wait... you didn't think I was going to go quietly into the new year with lovey-dovey hugs and kisses, did you? Heck no. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz As 2025 draws to an end, I close out this year with a familiar view: St. Paul's Catholic Church, one foggy morning, taken from the side deck of our house. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz This is what Santa does once the last presents are delivered on the Baker and Howland Islands. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Need is the determining factor, not some arbitrary clock settings. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Yup, it's 3:15 p.m. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz The weather forecast says tomorrow will be clear, high temps in the lower 50s.

She is a beautiful young lady... athletic and full of energy when she starts to gallop. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Also... needs a dog. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz It is very you. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz I want to thank everyone for your kind and touching replies yesterday.

The reason: to bend what would otherwise be boring straight lines and make the result more interesting. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Just three more days. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Alt text: stunning couple in formal attire wins life's lottery. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz This is stunning - homemade perfection!

You are much loved around here and you have been anything but boring. You may think you have been repetitious but you know something: so is real life. None of us are endlessly fascinating. Not even the late, great David Bowie, in or out bed. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Excellent news to wake up to. npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Yep 👍 npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz Well this was interesting... and totally unexpected! The camera caught what my eye did not see: streaks of soap bubbles flying out of a bubble machine, shimmering, sparkling, and popping like champagne bubbles (but you can't call them that because they're not from the province of Champagne). npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz The N-Judah Streetcar npub1qxf4uj73el7yjjqcee6d5xfp56fl996hfahxxllh9wrvnh38z7jsa9dmnr Bob Horowitz I never knew it was a thing.
