| BECAUSE THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!! Did you know that boats are sold WITHOUT the engines? What?? Yes - they come separately. I think that we can afford a floating shell and a paddle. |

true
la la land
We just got back from LA--
I don't know how anyone lives there. The weather is beautiful - but that is where the niceness begins and ends.
Prices are outrageous. I was looking at the real estate section of the paper and noticed that it takes at least $1MM to get more than one bathroom. In Beverly Hills, or even the surrounding areas - it is more like $2MM. Ridiculous. It was commonplace to see 30,40, 50 million dollar houses for sale or rent for $50,000 a month! I thought - who can afford this?? Who lives here?? Then I looked at the cars - A LOT of middle eastern money... Dubai plates...oil money... wow. Lots of chicks (I think) in full body garb. Well, at least they don't have to worry about visible pantie lines although I can't imagine wearing the all black burka, in 90 degree heat, when in menopause - no way.
I feel sorry for the boys trying to find girlfriends there. Based on the outward appearance of their future mates, they would have no idea what their offspring would look like. I mean, the women could have started out looking like a neanderthal/pygmy combo and the unsuspecting male would have no idea that the barbie doll date had genes like that. And what about the cost of maintenance? Hair waxing alone could put a person in the poor house.
How can everyone be so cranky when the sun is shining all day every day? Those LA'ers need a dose of Chicago winter to give them some perspective. Or maybe some Key West humidity to test the efficacy of the keratin hair treatments? Mmmm--it could be the traffic or the smog. Just guessing though.
Hollywood Shmollywood.

| OK ...fine... I did like the LACMA museum... |

Only $100 - a great way to take an inconspicuous nap!!!!
 |
| look at the lie down position... I don't even get it... |
We are victorious!
I really hate these things...one less in the world. He has pooped on me for the last time.
I wish that I could take credit for it but Christian, the landscaper, gets all of the points for the kill. I knew he was serious when I heard the back door of the house open to the cry of, "GET THE GUN"! Christian declined taking him home for dinner, however he says that they taste like chicken. Yea - chickens from H_LL!

OK - for real this time...Diana Nyad.
 |
| She's in there somewhere. Even 5 foot 12 arms could not see over the sea of people. |
This is Tom's G+ website... go to it to follow Diana Nyad to shore. He escorted her on his kayak for the last mile of her journey. Amazing footage (of his feet first and then the real deal).

Still wondering what to do with this thing...

| How about a decorative tissue box holder??? |
No dogs on furniture... and other highlights of life (in picture form)
 |

 |
| new rocks ...so exciting! (I know pathetic) |
 |
| Anne B says that this is either a "Drunken Sailor or Rangoon Creeper" |
 |
| In honor of this entrance flower...thinking of naming the house ..."Creepy Drunks" or "Gooney Sailor". |
 |
| A new discovery in my too short visit to my homeland. |
 |
| Even in Paradise - pining away for "sweet home (you know where)" |

This is WAR
Hey - so what are you doing today? Me? I'm at war with a Sapodilla tree. This thing drops more leaves, buds and grenade shaped, ripened fruit than all US bombers in all wars combined. It is a full time job keeping ahead of the annoying sticky leaves and buds that adhere to the crevices in the deck. Not to mention, risking my life by lounging on the deck when a squishy, gooey, projectile decides to launch from its nest. Wikipedia says that they are edible. Ok - maybe that would be one way to fight them. Buy a monkey and train it to gather Sapodilli (pl?). It was also mentioned that the mushy missiles are high in latex content. Hmmm - never really thought about increasing my balloon/rubber glove intake. Maybe for increased buoyancy? We are close to water... I am seriously thinking about more drastic measures... don't tell the tree huggers.

| explosives ready for launch |

| kind of looks like an Ent from Lord of the Rings |
