While driving home from Big Sur I started to feel ill again. Light headed, I couldn't stop sneezing and running a fever, so mom and I stop half way down at Pismo Beach and stay at the "Cottage by the Sea". A charming inn. We had a gas fireplace in our room and a full sea view. We could sit on a tiny porch in front of our room and watch the sun go down over the ocean's horizon. We stood there for three days because the weather was so lovely and the ocean was so breathtaking.
Came home and found out that some kid in South Pasadena got the City Council to sign an ordinance to stop the use swear words for a month. "No; shit!" I guess no one on the City Council has read the Bill of Rights. "Freedom of speech? What's that?"
Made me want to stop by City Hall and swear up a storm! Okay, we shouldn't sound like we're reading aloud the screen play from "Pulp Fiction" but aren't we're getting just a little too P.C. in this country?
Hello, we do have "Freedom of speech" in this country , or at least that's how I understand the Constitution!
One lovely thing about living in the L.A. area is the fact that you can attend a Farmer's Market almost every day of the week. Each town has their own Farmer's Market where you can buy fresh produce and other goodies. I learned this weekend, one of the best weekly Farmer's Market will be closing down because the property own is selling the land to developers. Great another strip mall or condos! The Farmer's Market in San Monica will be closing! It was one of the best in L.A.! I read in the Los Angeles Times that even the chefs in Las Vegas would fly down every week to buy the fresh produce for their restaurants in Vegas! Many of the top chefs of L.A. went there for the fresh veggies and fruits. And now they're closing it! Sigh!
