Murray is so engrossed that he ignores Neal. He has already de-squeeked the toy, but the disemboweling process is not complete.

Murray proud of his new toy

He found his Christmas stocking and snuck his new toy out. I could hear the squeak, squeak in the other room. Well, at least he still has other things in his stocking for Christmas.

It is a cold Saturday night -- too bad these guys have to come now to look for a gas leak under the ground. I guess it could be worse -- at least it isn't raining!

They found the gas leak and are getting ready to fix it.

Christmas decorations

Mall in San Francisco off the Powell Street BART station.

Tree in process of being decorated

Union Square. This is what they have to do to get it decorated. I wonder if they have radios and earpieces with someone down below saying "that one needs to go a little more to the left."

Christmas balls ready to go up on the tree

You need big ornaments for a big tree.

Altamont Commuter Express

Jessica tries out the commuter train, but decides it isn't the best way to go on a daily basis. The train ride is only 15 minutes, but the shuttle takes a while since it stops at two campuses.

Beach balls with the Sun logo

These are scattered across the lawn at Jessica's new job. Jessica reports that she now has a blue one on her office shelf.

Emergency Room where Lindsay ended up after injuring her knee while moving in

This was the hospital in Santa Cruz that they took Lindsay to after she injured her knee. This hospital had horrible bedside manners and did an awful job with the brace they put on. The doctor implied that Lindsay must be a drug user that she was not responding to the pain medication they gave her. After they got done shoving her out the door in pain, we went to straight to Valley Care Hospital in Pleasanton, where we got much better treatment and they made a better split for her leg that actually worked. There was no way we could even get her out of the car and into the house with the brace that the Santa Cruz hospital gave her.

Lindsay with her knee flexing machine

Lindsay had knee surgery for a torn ACL. She has to use this machine that flexes her knee for two hours three times a day. They gave her the special socks to wear as well to prevent embolisms.
