Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station in Willow Glen

Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.

The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.

The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.

The building was designed by IBI-Group Architects, and constructed by Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company.

The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

These two bicycled from one side of the USA to the other, just like this! Such a healthy duo!

Update 2024: I’m feeling fine. Getting energy back. Speech is still affected, but can at least communicate. Hoping focus on exercise and caloric restriction proves effective.

Update 2023: Doctor asks for me to take a look at the MRI. It is stable from before, not worse or better. The good thing is there is no contrast enhancement to suggest an ongoing active infection. Since steroids have not helped symptoms, think it is best to do another spinal tap (lumbar puncture) just to make sure there is no inflammatory process.

Update April 26, 2023: still waiting for results of yesterday’s MRI. It only says:

After Visit Summary – PATIENT CONFIDENTIAL – COPY

And the doctor says: I just checked again and the MRI still has not been read. I will continue to keep an eye for it.

Saturday Morning Santa Cruz

Made it there just in time to see everyone take off without me.

But, I’ve my own group: Electric Future

Note: The above movie runs fine in Chrome, a bit problematic in Safari, and for some reason in FireFox only the video shows up, without the audio/sound. On my iPad it does not run at all!

P.S. It’s a good thing I didn’t go. While riding along a dirt backroad, ignoring signs, the group had an irate landowner pull a gun on them – a situation that tied up the excursion for hours and got the police involved.
