For all those buried in snow


Not to rub it in, but the weather today in Los Angeles was 75 degrees and crystal clear.

Why don't Los Angelenos dub their weather

Sunopolis


or


Sunapalooza


or

Sunmageddon?


We just have to contend with fires, slides and the Big One, after all.


On another note, I read the obituary of Felice Quinto, the celebrity photographer who was the inspiration for the character Paparazzo in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, one of my favorite movies. Ironically, I couldn't manage to make a copy of the photo of Felice to post, but here's a scene from the movie:

  1. My Canadian sister always says she doesn't want to know what our weather is.

    And after all those years in Florida, Denny thinks our Hill Country winter day of 52F is "damn cold".

    Glad you're in a good place and enjoying it. Sounds like a trip to the beach is in order.

  6. No snow here, either. And it it's chilly, but Lord, it is beautiful.
