Another Friday night drive out to Los Angeles, California, yesterday. We are enjoying the rain we Arizonans covet so dearly here on this glorious Saturday morning. You probably don’t recognize the background, but I do. It’s one of the flood control channels that is pushing water to a larger channel that I’m very familiar with because we are in West Covina, and I used to walk by this spot frequently as a kid on my way to the West Covina Fashion Plaza (as it was known at the time). At another time in my youth, I worked across the street here on California Avenue at one of the two Barro’s pizzerias that existed at the time, which was about 1978.

Out and about exploring Los Angeles and heading over to visit with my father.
