That's Karen's and my old stompen grounds, and I can't stand it down there. It's likely when Jim gets back, he'll kiss the soggy earth as soon as he feels the North Californian mud under his feet.

i do not want to be in the car with Jim as he navigates the roads down there.
Ill keep an eye out for a news report about a crazy slow driver in the LALA area.
Thanks for the update Peter.
Dick
thanks for update. I was talking to rich about Aunt Sandi and Uncle Jim. We will be praying for them. hugs
We are here. We do not like it. But the mountains around here are dusted in snow, pretty birds are singing, there are oranges on the trees. We head to the hospital in 20 minutes for Jim to meet the team. Logging on to the internet was tricky, but Jim's up to speed now, and will probably post a good long newsy post this evening. Thanks for all your love and prayers. We head back to CCity tomorrow, then Jim's coming "for real" next Saturday, the 6th. I'll be coming back as soon as I can to keep him company. I can't hardly stand to think of him down here alone though and maybe I'm just tired but I'll sure be glad when this "adventure" is history!
Again, love to all. Please be sure to email him as often as you can with lots of boring home news. He'll need all the distractions he can get.
Sandi, here's some advice on how to fit in. Get a crazed look on your face; zig zag through traffic; race the cars next to you. Of course, it helps to put on your makeup, and talk on your cell while doing all this. The locals get the crazed look from being over committed, so you'll have to imagine yourself on your daily errands to the mortgage banker, pedicure, and dropping your kids at day care - all before 8am, when you need to arrive at your second job! Now your a cool Southern Californian!
No joke Peter! Today Jim was waiting for on a bench INSIDE the grocery store and a man sat next to him on the bench and proceeded to repeatedly fall off the bench onto his knees and rock back and forth and side to side! JIM JUST SAT THERE! I'll bet the guy was a stock investment banker or something...
I just pretended not to notice, as if things like this happen every day to me. He then proceeded to sit on the floor and rock back and forth. After about 10 minutes he just got up and walked off. I don't know, maybe he was waiting for an applause or something.
I just pulled out my iPhone and downloaded that app where it tells you what to do when you run across crazy people.
Jim
you know i have an app on my phone that sends out a high pitch sound. it would of been interesting to use it in a situation like you had.
he would of either not noticed or thought we were being invaded by aliens. but isnt LA filled with aliens anyway?
