after listening to the Tom Morton show onBBC Scotland this morning i went to the farmer's market overlooking Redondo beach. on the way
there i happen to see this "wanted" sign
on the back of a truck. coincidence? i say ney.
the last time i saw bagpipes in the south bay
was at the St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival
in Hermosa beach a few years ago.
i think this year they will only have a parade
do to some type of dispute between the city
and somebody who doesn't want a festival.
actually i need to check into the date for the parade. i think i may try to go to New York City to see their big parade on the 17th of March if i am already on the east coast working.
this is where i bought my bag of grapefruit for $2.25. this is the first price increase in many years. in the past a bag cost $1.50. times they are a changing.every thursday morning, they have this farmer's market overlooking the sea. or is that overlooking the bay. overlooking the ocean or sea sounds better.
if i do not have to go to jury duty tomorrow i am thinking of a long skate to Santa Monica.
i think their farmer's market is on friday. more than likely, i will rollerskate there and then
take the bus back. there was a time when i would skate from end to end which is about
42 miles...and 42 miles is a long way on rollerskates. times and fitness level they have changed.
if the day is nice and sunny i am sure i will have some interesting photos as i will be passing thru Venice Beach. and there is always something interesting to see in and around Venice Beach. i hope there will be some good street performers there and on the 3rd Street Promenade. it has been a few months since i skated to Santa Monica but it is always a little adventure on rollerskates and...on the bus.
and finally. i saw this mailbox today. i think it was monday's Tom Morton show that one of the topics was parrots gone wild. i mentioned the wild green parrots of the south bay...this is not one of them but i thought it was cute.
