Authentic California-style fire drill for those Cal undergrads at 8 am this morning studying in Moffitt library due to power outage - with light smoke in the air (.00146 particulate matter) - as PG&E installs the new $75 million circuit breaker near the Carquinez bridge, having set the fires to create the space to install the new equipment (which will take as long it takes - and so valuable for the next 1906-scale earthquake)? 'Duck & cover' practice for the next earthquake for Cal students too ... as .0014 percent of Californians go out to purchase their own power generators and earthquake emergency supplies too? (Irony-e-e-Californ-i-a :) just in time for Halloween ;)

Power's still out in Canyon 94516, ~ 24 hours since it went out. May I sit next to you this evening Patti for piano 3-4 hands and with Scottish small pipes too, since without power I haven't been able to print ludic music and don't have 12 inch tablet either? Anne-Laure Latour can play my keyboard which speakers no longer sound broken-twangy-horrendous ... and has new batteries too re outage ... have brought a GHB practice chanter since Keith Buchanan Smith is a bagpiper as well I learned. ... if they come to Open Band.

Thanks again for the House Concert!

A bientôt,

Hi Scott,

The power is also still out at St. Clement’s AND air quality is dangerous and getting worse, so we have cancelled class tonight. (Otherwise would have been happy to have you join me at the piano). Hope they get you hooked back up soon!

Hi Scott:
Sounds like such fun out there in the hinterlands!

In case you didn’t get Bruce’s email - class is canceled tonight due to smoke and lack of electrons.

cheers,
David

To Patti, Alex, Barbara, worlduniversityandschool, Bruce, Heather, David

Hi Patti, David, Bruce and All,

A las! ... and thanks for the heads' up that SCD Open Band and Dancing are cancelled this evening (am actually a tiny bit short of breath now, with sensitive breathing, probably due to fairly intense smoke last night) and appreciate in general CA's relatively high air quality standards in some places, and legally too ... I think folks danced SCD during last year's 10 days of intense CA fire smoke-in - when I think multitudes stayed inside, and my little house-let was as closed up as it could be!)

Back to acoustic ? :)

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Sorry you’re without electricity - again.  And those wretched fires.  It’s so sad and must be terribly frustrating to have what seem like repeated conflagrations all over the state.  Hadn’t thought about the fact that students would be affected - and everyone one way or another.   Oh my.  Please keep me posted.  One fire seemed to be not too far from San Francisco.

I’m going to bed early because the electrician, coming to repair a circuit breaker is arriving at 7:15 am.  Have to set my alarm.  That’s early for me.

L, Ma

Hi M,

Smoke made me a bit short of breath, so headed to coast to breathe better, and then Annie Brown called out of the blue, at Ocean Beach in SF :) She asked how you were, and I said well.

SCD music making is canceled this evening due to outage and smoke.

Hope air is better when I get back.

Sleep well and good luck in the morning

L, Scott

Hi Ma, Ann, Ed, and All,


Blogged about some of this yesterday ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scarlet-macaw.html ...Am seeking for World Univ & Sch to become financially operational soon.

And thanks so much for some of your communications yesterday - your calls, Ann & Ed and your email Ma after Ann called, mentioning the word CIRCUIT (below). Ann called when I was driving by Ocean Beach in SF, and Ed when I was heading into Rainbow Grocery (two great places) having escaped the awful smoke due to slight shortness of breath (and possibly due too to chemicals/SIM on an unwashed new shirt. A year ago with 10 days of intense smoke from fires was much worse for breathing ).

How are you all doing (re thresholds of stress?)

Am wondering about the role of psychiatry re these fires, and re the word circuit metaphorically in the communication process in talk therapy. Am also wondering with regards to Kaiser Permanente (which we talked about, Ed) about the role of charting in psychiatry re benefits to patients, its decades' long history at KP, and with regards too to online World Univ & Sch Medical Schools and online teaching hospitAls (and even with regards to avatar bot electronic medical records) - and identity questions. How could online psychiatry even create flourishing cultures (in 7111 languages)? How about for you esp. in these regards?

Electricity is still out in Canyon hinterlands (but not in Berkeley or Montclair), shower this morning was colder than yesterday's luke warm shower. What's the thinking here by the decision makers doing this? Could bringing psychiatry to places that could benefit from this even be part of this (eg Canyon 94516, nearby Montclair village - which could have an issue with the sex trade happening even, I've noticed in passing - and possibly even Harbin Hot Springs)? And how do places via governments via lawyers/administrators and MD psychiatry address and stop the illegal sex trade, for example, when it's happening, besides 'smoking them out' or 'burning them down' or accepting the related 'corruption'/similar ? And are the identities deciding to keep the power out in need of psychiatric help themselves, I wonder? What are the goals of the power outage in Canyon? 

Religion in my experience in CA seems to be playing less of a role in some of these questions, while psychiatry could perhaps help the 'victims' of some of these actions, by becoming more effective, and growing. How to grow excellent MD psychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - in the Medical School at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School (and planned in ~200 countries' official languages) - and newly with identity and language questions knowledgeably in mind, and toward flourishing individuals and cultures/communities?

Lots of communications yesterday from friends, - surprisingly, & welcome ... and re the circuit word too. Thanks for your communications. Thoughts? (On with the Desiderata ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html )

Seeking partner here continues ... :)

Fond regards, Scott
