Amen. Me, too.

Thanks to Google Street View, I can count parking spaces in downtown L.A. without having to ponder the implications of the various smells.

(It sure is a good thing that I'm not OCD. Otherwise, I might be in danger of counting the same spaces multiple times before moving on to the next lot. Yep. Not OCD. Not even OCD-ish. That's me. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I need to wash my hands a few times.)

The inner smile of victory when..

The neighbor that used to mention you shoot too much. Asks you to teach them to shoot.

That is a happy thought.
As I'm an NRA rifle, pistol & shotgun instructor that's great news.
Maybe my business will pick up, haven't had a class in a month.

That's pretty awesome. My dad had a similar situation when we were growing up. Our neighbor felt that he was insane for teaching all of us kids how to shoot and couldn't believe any man would raise his kids around firearms. Next thing ya know, our neighbor gets broken into. It wasn't long after that little episode that our neighbor was supplying the brass and learning from dad (and us kids).

Beautiful day in northern Arizona.
Morning walk across the street gave a good view of the balloons.

During an afternoon in the Little Tokyo district of downtown Los Angeles, ZonieDiver and I managed to figure out solutions to all of America's most pressing problems. That's right! The future of the GOP, gridlock in Washington, D.C., education reform, civility in political discourse, race relations, urban development, inconsistencies in national security policy, the bloat of the federal bureaucracy, and other dilemmas are all relics of the past!



...Unfortunately, due to the chemical interaction of vodka and Starbucks dark roast coffee, the details of those solutions are increasingly fuzzy. (WTH! I was supposed to be taking notes? I thought you were taking notes!)

Even so, I'm pretty sure we agreed on the following key points:

• There are a lot of Asians in Asia.
• Good looking women tend to look good.
• Tall people are often taller than short people.
• Squeaky shoes are noisy.
• Dragnet was a great television show.
• L.A. area LEOs named Malloy should expect Adam-12 references.
• There's no such thing as too many Starbucks.
• There's no such thing too much coffee.
• Drinking decaf makes no sense what so ever.
• I am neither OCD nor bitter.

Hey ZD - you wanna verify agreement on that last one?

Thanks for being a great guide and host, Sigaba. The monument to the 442nd was... well... monumental.

Yes, I specifically remember asking you to take notes. I think.

I do need to work on my Land Nav skills in large hotels with labyrintian hallways.

I could have done without the rain on my trip back to San Pedro... or the exodus of cars at 6:30 pm. (I thought it was the begining of the Z.A. and the end of ZD.)

There are a LOT of good-looking women in the Little Tokyo area of downtown LA. While we sat in Starbucks the same tall, svelte, young, lovely, long-haired blonde came in THREE times - each time in a different outfit. That doesn't happen at Starbucks in Phoenix!

Thanks, again. Nice to put a real-life person with an online personality.

As was stated... memories are fuzzy.

That said, IF Sigaba is OCD, he hid it very well. (He does get cold easily, however!)

The only thing that was bitter was the Pike's Place medium roast I had!
