Friday Funnies

Hi,
As August put it, we had 'Christmas, part 3' this morning. The Boys Grandmother arrived late Wednesday night. Thursday morning found us all in the living room opening gifts, again. Not long after that, we had a lunch date in the Marina. In the evening we had dinner with our older Godsons, C-Bass and Darryl Jr., who had his 24th birthday on the 26th. We went to Natalie Thai and had a great time. Later, DJ August put on a show, with all his bells and whistles.
Since nobody got the song, I'm extending it through the weekend. I'm hoping that the first verse will help you:
"Yeah (sunrise) there's a new sun risin' (In your eyes) I can see a new horizon (Realize) that will keep me realizin'
__ __ __ __ __ __" If you need a clue, go back to yesterday.
Today, the plan is to go down to China Town. Oh, yesterday we got our International Driving Permits in the mail. Now all we need is something to drive. Supat has suggested that we start with an older car, so if we run into things it won't hurt so bad. (of course he laughed as he said it) Keeping that in mind, we'll get a transportation vehicle when we return and start learning to drive on the other side of road, from the other side of the car, on the quiet side streets.
The calendar year is coming to an end. A supposed time for reflection and introspection. Do you really do that, or do you look forward with big plans and dreams? Tell me how you handle the New Year thing.
Speaking of New Years, we'll be missing a lot of fireworks, being here in the U.S. In LOS it's a time to light up the sky. (not to mention, make a lot of noise) Maybe we're not missing anything, really. I like displays, but not firecrackers and bombs. At the same time, I'm missing the old gang. We asked Boot, a while back, if there was a holiday when they exchanged gifts. She told us New Years was the time. So, we missed another occasion. No matter, at least for now.
Observations: Things have changed around here. Driving down Culver Bl. we were shocked to see so much of the median bike path gone, for the freeway and traffic control. Somehow, more pavement doesn't seem like such a good idea. Not my call. We heard that the Fox Hills Mall is going the way of malls. Being rebuilt as a clone of The Grove. The little folks will be pushed out, in favor of the major chains and it will be same-same from mall to mall. Again, they didn't consult with me. There's seems to be a trend for theaters not to post the features they're showing on the outside. So how do you know if you want to go to the trouble to even park? (which usually cost money) Another dumb idea? Hmm. Nothing stays the same. Oh well.
It's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Brisk Last WeekEnd of the Year.

Peace,
Danny


One day a policeman stopped a motorist who had just gone through a
four way stop sign and was about to give him a ticket when the
motorist said. "Officer you can't give me a ticket for that!' "Why
not" said the officer. "Because although I did not stop I slowed right
down and its almost the same." "But you did not stop" replied the
officer, "and the sign says STOP." "But the way was clear and it was
safe" replied the motorist. The officer then pulls out his batton and
starts hitting the motorist. "What are you doing!" yells the motorist
in surprise. "Do you want me to slow down or stop?" says the officer.
