Windy day in Santa Monica
The best way to fly a kite? On a surf board.
Third Street Promenade.
Soaps that look deliciously edible. Goal? Children's hospital trips.
Trip to China Town. Goal: Mindless haggling over cheap cloth.
Saving the universe, one planet at a time. My musings and pointless drivel as I move around on this earth.

From the sea to the mountains and the desert. Headed out to the Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs.
Had dinner in Palm Springs.
We rented bikes. The full-day deal seemed like a bargain at the time. A full day is a LONG time to pedal up and down hills. Well not so much down.
A bit farther in-land.
Leaving the Island
Back to Long Beach
Is a piece of easy-going, unspoiled heaven in Southern California, completely un-effected by the warzone in LA, just 30 miles across the water.
Met this couple whole were born and raised on Catalina. Went to high school together. Worked at a bank and a quarry on the island all their lives and now were cruising around in a golf cart in their retired days here.
Has gone to waste so far. Flights out of Michigan have been canceled on the account of the snow, so the vacation plans are disrupted. I am spending these long work-free nights pondering life's mysteries.
The big mystery that I am grappling with tonight is who shot the deputy? We know Eric Clapton shot the sheriff. He admits as much. Hell, he's singing about it. So who shot the deputy? My theory is that the sheriff, who had it out for Clapton, shot the deputy to pin it on Clapton. He went to arrest him and Clapton shot him in self defense. He swears that it was self defense, doesn't he? How else would both the sheriff and the deputy get shot at the same time? If Clapton had shot the deputy, he'd sing about that too. I mean the man is admitting to shooting the sheriff already, shooting the deputy has got to be a lesser crime; why would he not admit that?
Unless of course, "I shot the deputy too" wouldn't rhyme and sing as well.
In conclusion, Clapton probably shot the deputy too, but didn't want to ruin a good song. Mystery solved. Damn artists!
Oh, I went shopping today, on a very empty stomach. The results mayhem. Three trips to the car to unload the Costco damage.
By the way, Carrot-Orange Juice is a bad idea. Tastes like liquid hard lemon candy. Why would they continue making and selling it is a mystery to be solved another night.
