Nice flight to LA yesterday afternoon with an exit row window seat and an upgrade to a new Camry at the compact price at the rental counter making for a nice travel day. Dinner with my friend at
Chez Jay's in Santa Monica and a long conversation finished the evening.
Heading for Santa Barbara later today after meeting up with my niece around lunch time. The forecast is for heavy rains, but so far it's just dark and overcast.
Toured the
Desert Botanical Garden on Sunday with my Mom. It would be wrong to have spent 10 days in the desert without any pictures of desert plants, so here are some shots of cactus, blooming aloe, and finally a selfie taken while watching time pass.
