Warped

B. & H. are going to the 'Warped' tour in San Francisco tomorrow. H. has been pulling weeds for days earning money to supplement the cost of the ticket (which he paid for out of his savings). He needed food money and bus money, etc. They aren't going together - but with separate groups of friends. B. and his friends are taking BART from Pleasanton into the city and then walking FOUR MILES to the concert site. J. is trying to find bus routes or MUNI trains for them to take - 'cuz a four mile walk is a long way. I'm not too worried about that on the way there - but the concert won't end until late evening and they have to make it back to BART by midnight before the trains stop running.

Planning is not either of their fortes. But we're trying to just let it be. They'll have to figure it out.

H. is riding there with a friend and his family.

It will be a long, exciting day - music on Pier 30.

OH, I forgot to mention: B. did a ride along with the Tracy Police Department yesterday and came home absolutely certain that he wants to be a police officer. He's planning to go to LPC and get his AA degree in Administration of Justice and then go to the police academy. He made several traffic stops, including an arrest for drugs in the car. He spent nine hours with the officer and was able to ride in the front seat. He loved it! So he seems set on that career choice and thinks two years of college is a good idea - because a 2 year degree offers a 5% pay increase right off the bat.

I am off next week! Feel in many ways like I shouldn't be ....but the work will keep. It will all still be there on the 6th - along with our new superintendent. The 6th is his first official day!

Two weeks back at work and then off to Cancun!!
