It's a little too hot today. I like it around 75.



This ones called Astral.



It's supposed to be spring for a while not summer. I really wish downtown San Rafael had a public pool I could go to when it gets hot. That's the only thing that's missing from my happy town. It get's so hot here too. We really need a public pool. The nearest one is in Terra Linda.

Old girl scout songs from my childhood

This is an old song that my mom learned at girl scout camp when she was little. She only new one verse of it. I had no idea there were so many verses.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
That's not a monkey, that's me!

Alternative verses

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire,
Jumping up and down, with his pants on fire.
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch! Kookaburra,
Hot your tail must be!

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail,
Gets a boo-boo in his tail.
Cry, Kookaburra, cry, Kookaburra,
Oh how life can be!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Gay your life must be!

This is another song my mom taught us from childhood
I found this youtube video of some kids singing it on a porch swing. Cute. I had no idea other people even sang these songs anymore.
