Sorry about the extended silence -- I've been slammed at work. Hats off to Ed for picking up the slack!
I have a long mental list of things to write about, but it's almost suppertime. In the meantime, a couple of random observations from my desk, where I am surfing the web, sipping a Dirty Coward (equal parts cheap gin and fizzy water, a good slug of brine from the bottle of olives, served over crushed ice), and watching the world go by.
Observation No. 1: A young couple walked by, looking very much in love. They walked back about half an hour later, pushing a Staters Bros. shopping cart with a single bag in it. (Further deponent sayeth not.)
Observation No. 2: Nearly every day, an elderly Hispanic couple goes for a walk past our house. She walks at least 15 feet behind him, and if he stops (to pull up his socks or whatever), she stops too, preserving the distance.

I don't care how much in love the young couple is... they stole a shopping cart that will end up in an alley filled with trash.
One bag... between the two of them they couldn't carry it? Lazy.

Here's one:
Pomona Bakery is very, very close. It could be early next week. They've been testing the ovens and can't sell until the final inspection, but their ovens seem to work a lot better than mine! Strolling Antique Row on the 4th was well worth it.
