Last trip 2 weeks ago to the Santa Monica daughters abode, and the drive
down I-5 was beautiful. Can be boring during the summer when it is lots
of brown hills, but the hills are green, most of the fruit and nut trees
are in bloom. Missed the rain and the Saturday we rode the bikes down to
the Marina Del Rey pier outstanding. 75 degrees, lots of nubile young
women skating, biking and jogging in bikinis. Life is good.

Wow, that sounds like a dream... It was -5.6 degrees when I woke this
morning at 5:30 AM... Hope it warms up in the next couple weeks or the
skwalas will need long johns!
