The Chronicles of John Trammell

Class got out, I chilled for awhile, then went to my car so I can pick up bryan from REV, got back up to school to get jane, had lunch, when to take jane home.  After I have taken Jane home, I was driving up Highland Ave.  We where just crusin, going speed limit......By paton state hospital, a 2001 corolla trying to turn, came out just a little in the road, thought it was clear (didnt check the blind spot) and started to gas it.  I saw what she was doing, i checked to make sure no one was in the other lanes, hit the brakes, and veird the car to the left into the other lanes.  The Corolla hit the passanger side of the car where bryan budd was sitting.  I pulled over, the lady was still in the middle of the road, didn't know what just happened, then came over to where i pulled over the road.  She claimed it was her fault (which it was) and I got her insurance information.  She was on her way to pay her car insurance bill when this occured, so right after...

Today, the first day of fall, we have had an awesome rain storm.  To enjoy it to the fullest.  I decided to take the camera, get in the car, and start driving; looking for good photos to take. I first went on some back roads of greenshop, which went ok.  Afterwards, I went all the way to the mountains, and I found this very beautiful Riparian Zone off the 38, just before u get to forest falls.  For those who dont know, a Riparian Zone is the interface between land and a flowing surface water body.  I do say, for our mountains, I have ranked it up on the top beautiful locations. After about spending 2 hours in this Riparian Zone, i decided to drive up to Barton Flats, to see how Jenks Lake looked, sadly, the surface of the lake was choppy so I didnt stop to take any photos.  With that disappointment, I took the awesome drive though the clouds back home.

For the past few summers and into the fall, I have been working at my cuz's farm called Elser's Country Farm.  For the most part, I arrive the day before a market to help pack up the produce into the vehicals.  This past weekend, I was hanging out with friends, so I was un able to do that this time.  Other times, if I come early, I would be able to help pick some of the tomatoes (The main crop on the farm)  I was unable to work for most of the summer this year due to work and 4-H.  But this weekend is the first weekend I have been able to join in the work. This summer, I am going to The Palos Verdes Farmers Market on Sundays with my aunt.  If I am needed at other markets, I will join in those markets as well.  With this amazing heat wave this past week, the flowers on the tomato plans have fallen off; which means that we will have a time in about 2-3 weeks when we will have very little produce.  So I might not be working much this summer season....
