When the resident squirrel turns up on your doorstep demanding a new corn cob,
one can understand Mr. Dangerfield’s cry of: “I get no respect, I tell ya!”
What’s next? Will the squirrel bring its big brother? Will it be armed? Will it start a protest on our front lawn?
Who knows… I better go and hang up another cob for the greedy animal.
A big Pick salami is better than a small one.
And 4 Pick salamis are better than one.
Don’t just take my word for it – others go to great lengths too, to grab a bit(e) of this Hungarian delicacy.
All things Hungarian in Los Angeles can be found here:
They have an actual store in Burbank; they also ship all over the US.
This is Billy.
He lives with Tina
and Jewel
in the new Elephant enclosure at the Los Angeles Zoo.
While the ladies are still under quarantine, Billy is free to roam and test some of the amenities of his and the “girls” new home – like the built-in shower.
Now I know what a thoroughly happy elephant looks like.
Early morning at the Shakespeare Bridge.
You find them everywhere, these little reminders that yes, we live at the coast and water does drain into the Ocean.
These are the old tiles:
Very pretty with the dolphin silhouette.
These are the new tiles:
Fish bones?
Should we be worried? Very, very worried?
“Hey, you people – can’t you read?”
There are shoes.
There are dreams.
Sometimes those two meet and become dream shoes.
Très chic.
No, this is not funny – this is evidence!
We are definitely not in the habit of hanging our Prosciutto over the back of the chairs; this is hard evidence of the stealing going on in this house if one walks away from the breakfast table for just a moment.
So, you cats, listen up:
The first time you got away with it.
The second time we disturbed you and we have the photo to prove it.
The third time… we live in CA and we have something called the “three strikes law.” So you better be careful.
Thieves! Bandits! Gangster!
Funny typo of the day:
FOR THE RECORD
Bell councilman: An article in Section A on Oct. 13 about Bell Councilman Lorenzo Velez referred to Bell as a city dominated by blue-color Mexican immigrants. It should have said blue-collar.

Thanks for the correction; otherwise I would have taken my camera on a hunt for smurfs in Southern California!
