Hi,
We spent the morning in the market place, watched a parade of dump-trucks, and had another big rain this afternoon.
That 'Zany Day' song was "Once In A Lifetime" by The Talking Heads. Christopher and Barry were the only ones who remembered. Bravo. This week's 'Old School Friday' should be an easy one for a lot of you. I expect lots of mail.
"When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms, whenever I want you, __ __ __ __ __ __ __..."
Hint: It's by two brothers, and it's still not clear who fell asleep with Susie. They seemed to be into sleeping and dreaming, or something. It's easy.
This morning we took the dogs out a little later than usual. It seems that they should have more time after their meal before vigorous exercise. At first they were a little upset, but they settled down. The only problem with waiting to play is that it gets warmer and that makes it harder on Daku. The new plan is for a smaller breakfast and a bigger dinner. We'll see what they have to say about that. (555)
Today's adventure took us to the downtown market district. Lisa spent some time at the 'Everything Store' while I took care of some computer business. Parking the car at the market entrance is always a treat because of the 'parking guy' and the cool 'Hand Dance' he does as he guides you into your place. We went deep into the market in search of material for making blouses. Our friend at the big fabric store was very helpful. We picked up some deserts from our favorite vendor and took in the sights and smells of the market. One thing I have learned is that there are times when it's best to avert ones eyes. There are so called 'edible' things that I just don't want to see. My curiosity got the best of me today and I saw little things wiggling in a bowl that I wish I could erase from my memory.
On our way to the morning adventure we were following two young women on a motorbike. They were all dressed up for work, complete with high-heels. We have wanted to share this common sight for the longest time, and today Lisa caught this photo as they turned a corner. You just don't see this on the streets of L.A.
For five years we have only had one house next to ours. The west and the north sides have been fields and we've really enjoyed that. Now progress may be encroaching on our ideal situation. All week the parade of dump-trucks has continued to bring load after load of dirt to a big area off the north/west corner of our lot. There is a small plot of land that appears to be a 'buffer' zone between us and the new project. We keep guessing as to what it's going to be. Maybe a park, a playground, or maybe a flower farm? I'm going to ask one of our friends to go and enquire. What's really strange is the fact that the street it faces is only wide enough for one car at a time. Hmm, that has not stopped large buildings from being built in other neighborhoods. There do not seem to be any zoning preferences here. If you have the land, build what you want. If it gets too invasive we can always make our wall taller. Yes, crazy thoughts enter my mind.
This afternoon, on my ride out to New Life, I got to see the countryside east of town. There are many side roads that go into little villages and they are calling. One day we will just go out and explore life outside of the city.
This weekend is the Italian Formula One Grand Prix. If you like red, there will be an ocean of it in the stands as Ferrari fans cheer for the home team. Zoom.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Now it's time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
What A Scary Flight
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the stewardess
announces over the intercom that "we're just waiting for the pilots."
The passengers look out the window and see two men, dressed as pilots
walking towards the plane. Both men are using guide dogs and appear to
be blind. There are murmurs among the passengers, and some believe it
is a joke.
The men board the plane and go into the cockpit. More concerned
murmurs and uneasy chuckles from the passengers. The plane taxis
normally to the runway and begins it's takeoff. As passengers look out
the window they realize they are nearing the end of the runway. The
entire passenger cabin begins screaming but the plane lifts off just
before the end of the runway. The passengers calm down and chuckle to
themselves, at this point believing that they fell for a joke.
In the cockpit, the pilot turns to his copilot and says "you know, one
day those people are gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die!"
