(With thanks to the Tender Thoughts card company.)

It's the design it yourself, Care Bear version of a Cali-Mexi eatery.

The new restaurant specializes in what it calls “good mood food.”

This is an odd request, I know.
If you know a lovely couple with the first names of Rob and Sela who live in an older mobile home in one of the parks on lower Higuera, please let them know that my son, Brian, really wants to thank them for the lovely gift of flowers and the note they left for him while he was asleep at French Hospital yesterday.
Rob and Brian were wardmates at the hospital for a time on Oct. 18. They really enjoyed each other's company and commiseration. Brian would love to connect with them...but the card the couple left with the flowers only had their first names on it. And since Brian was still groggy from the major surgery he'd had late the night before, he'd neglected to get their names and contact info. If you know Rob and Sela, please DM me and I'll give you Brian's contact info and mine.

Sorry I haven't been keeping everybody up to date for a week or so ... but there was no time. Brian developed a very serious foot infection over last weekend, went to the French Hospital ER Tuesday and wound up having to have rather drastic surgery last night. He sounded good this morning...

Cambria's Scarecrow Festival is back. Here's how it started 16 years ago and what's on tap this year.

More than 200 scarecrows will decorate the festival this year.

No surprise, but it's still a gut-punch to hear it officially.

The scenic highway has been hit by a series of landslides in recent years.

Here's what's happening at "our" pier:

The pier has been partially closed or blocked off for several years.

Oh, so very sad! Another accident on Highway 1, with tragic results.

The boy was from San Simeon, CHP said.

CHP's Pat sent me more details about the Highway 1/46 crash. Los Osos woman involved, but not seriously injured. Other party from Ojai.

Here's Pat's report:
None of the involved persons were from Cambria.
Party #1: Marsha Adams-76 years old- driving a 2010 Ford Motorhome-from Ojai
Party #2:Roslyn Murthe-30 years old-driving a 2004 Ford E-150 Van-from Los Osos
Basically Party #1 pulled out from SR-46 intending to turn left and go towards Morro Bay. But she inadvertently pulled directly in front of Party #2, as P2 was driving N/B on SR-1 towards Cambria
P1 was complaint of pain but was transported to Sierra Vista for precaution.
P2 had a scrape and some bruises but refused transport and will seek her own medical aid. No passengers in either vehicle.

Accident at 1 and 46 is snarling traffic

At 2 p.m., 95 degrees in the shade in our Cambria garden, usually the coolest spot!!
