Tidbits

While in Los Angeles I observed that every third car was a Mercedes Benz and not the classics but the brand new kind. Did Mercedes dropped their prices or is everyone well off there. All I know is that they are sweet and I want one. You think I'm kidding? I am not, they are all over the place.



I was in the city of Monterey Park and we were taking a walk on Garfield Blvd. Then I saw this. Even my hometown missed me and sent me this subliminal message in the form of this street sign.



The freeways are always packed and commuting is slow, of course if you are from there you don't notice *wink, wink* but us visitors notice this just as soon as we get there. Yet, I navigated through them as best as I could.



More than once, actually four times to be exact the ghetto bird was busy, the black and whites were blocking the entrance of every street for a five block radius on both sides. Another time about ten patrols to a mini van, on another one a car chase that ended near my sister's house, and again the ghetto bird flying and using their loud speaker first thing in the morning. Yep, never a dull moment in the La Puente area.



Just some of the highlights from last weeks trip.
