TEDxLosGatos at the Opera House in Los Gatos tonight. Interesting - much of it on music, which Jim & I enjoyed.

Saw this license recently - I am guessing that the car was a gift "for my one love".

Kitche counterto company just outside od DC: Counter Intelligence

"No incumbants!"on pedestrian overcrossing on Hwy 85 in San Jose (Los Gatos border).

Strange collection of rocks bundled in wire barrells in a Cambrian Park (San Jose) backyard (of a home for sale)

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Lions on Blossom Hill Road in Los Gatos always get dressed up for holidays - this one is no exception.

License plate spotted in Belgatos Park (Los Gatos, 95032) parking lot in February. Love it!

Here's a pink kitchen contertop (from a distressed sale about a year ago). Who knew that formica came in all these colors?

Here's a kitchen countertop that's orange. Can't make this stuff up! (Diff house than the orange front door.)

You just don't see an orange colored front door every day. Not surprisingly, the rest of this Campbell, CA, home was also very colorful.

But the land really was lovely. Too bad it's a gruelling drive from Los Gatos to this spectacular site.

Showed land in Santa Cruz Mountains (Los Gatos 95033) today. One parcel had a bonus - a house we didn't expect. Guess why the agent didn't mention it?

Santa must've had a rough day - he's truly deflated. (Seen on Union Avenue, San Jose, CA 95124)

Then, after Mass, we saw the culprint: a squirrel digging up more of the lawn to hide away a peanut or two. Wish I'd gotten a pic of that!

Saw that our lawn was "torn up" this morning. Like something had been digging. Noted little clawprints too....

Squirrel at a rest stop in the Central Valley (along hwy 5) in California. I was really close to him! Pic w/treo.

Previewed homes in Campbell for a buyer today - this one looked like squatters were living there (inside). Scary place!

Seen in a Santa Clara home today - Earthquake straps are supposed to be in top 1/3 & bottom 1/3 (and are supposed to be LEVEL).

Wonderful clients, whom I met thru Twitter & my blogs, gave me flowers today when we closed escrow & they got keys!
