I am in Bakersfield

Having dinner. I speak tomorrow at a workplace safety conference. The topic? “Anatomy of a Workplace Fatality.” Summary: Lock out if you want to live.

It was a nice drive today from Temecula to here, with a brief stop to visit my pal in Santa Clarita. This bloom in Lake Elsinore was causing pandemonium.

Today’s drive was exhausting. Driving the Sunchaser on SoCal freeways is nerve-wracking.

So I am having dinner at a nice place in Bakersfield that has the best pita bread I have ever eaten.

Temecula was a success, and we are going to help them. There should be work there. I will continue to try and grow the relationship. Toby will be having a burger to celebrate with me. He is patient and has good manners at the restaurant.

I will have time to kill tomorrow before I speak, so I am going to relax in the morning, take Toby for a long walk and catch up on email. I have a fireplace in my room, so it may be a dog cuddle and movie watching night.

1o year old me would be disgusted by how boring I am. Rock n roll, Oppo. I’m tearing it up out here.
