Food for one. Surfing for two.

Weather glorious here today too, but I’m stuck in le bombe factorie all week.

A bunch of us from my graduate department sat through the 1984 debates at a friend’s house surrounded by plenty of ethanol. The rule was you could only swear or throw dirty socks at the screen, so we were all soon barefoot.

That was the night I got so depressed at the debate that I left in a state that did not suggest I should be driving, and almost missed a curve and ended up in Long Island Sound.No election is worth ruining a perfectly good VW Rabbit over…

Really? I grew up in SoCal and didn’t soak up much of that “culture” during my more than 30 years there. But I guess it depends on how you define CULTURE.

Calling Denver LA is giving Denver too much credit. LA has cultural things to go with their crime.

Same forecast here though tomorrow’s supposed to have serious winds from the south, the “hair dryer effect” as I call it. But just like yours, our weather here in Iowa today was just about perfect. Two hours of enjoying the sun in just shorts and a jersey was pretty nice, even if the roads are flat, straight and boring. As soon as winter rears its frosty head we start dreaming of a three-week holiday in Santa Barbara at the year’s end followed by escape to Sicily in mid-January. And yeah, I’m glad I’m not driving I-25 through Denver….though we were out there a few weeks ago…still “LA@5000ft” to me.
