54 degrees and windy today

I know California is a dung heap of socialism and a wasteland for business. I know, I know. But I tell you, the mountains are great for skiing, the beaches are good for everything else. I used to complain about California weather and the lack of seasons. But now that I am, er, more seasoned, I have an appreciation for California itself.

I hope there is a way to save this fine state from the liberals who have just about destroyed its economy.

Disneyland Fireworks

One thing about my house. If you hear a booming noise at 9:35pm, it's not the kids. It's not the neighbors. It's not a sonic boom. It's Disneyland. Exploding fireworks. Not usually a problem unless I'm trying to get to bed early. The air was particularly clear Sunday night and I grabbed the camera and ran outside. The pics came out better this time because I rested the camera on the balcony rail instead of holding it. I gotta remember that trick!

city lights view

I'm super busy today, so a short post. My daughter and I are spending the day together shopping and lunching. She has Mondays off with her new class schedule. Woohooo! She and I were playing with the settings on the camera last night trying to capture the beauty of the view from my backyard. Doesn't really do it justice, but it is a rather interesting picture, imo.
