After pulling an all-nighter on I-15 to beat the heat – greetings from Los Angeles, where the air quality and furniture tied to the roof of cars reminds more of China each time I visit. Many thanks to Lance, and the rest of the SDA Nation for holding down the fort during my absence. 3,400 km, 6 days of sunny Idaho fairgrounds, hairspray and ribbons – much fun was had by all. I’ll be another week or so here in Little Beijing, where I again have net access and should be checking in periodically before normal blogging resumes.
Hairspray?
Have fun and stay safe.
I know what you mean about LA becoming, if not a third world city, then a heavily Latin American city. I don’t know what this means for its future, but I don’t think it will be entirely positive.
I like Mexico and all – Mexico’s not a totally horrible place by any means. But I just don’t understand why they’re slowly giving much of California back to Mexico.
And I just left Long Beach yesterday after a week in San Diego. We could have had an SDA California chapter gathering.
It’s a dog-grooming thing.
Confused here!?!?
I assumed from the proselytizing of Leonardo, Gerry (Brown), Gore, Jane, Arnold et al, that all of California was at peace with Gaia, the air was pure, everyone ate GMO-free, organic quinoa salads and drove electric cars or rode bikes and used solar power. Who knew it was other? ☺
Have fun in LA. Drive safely and look after yourself … just get the hell out before the “big one.”

Its bad enough having to transit the US through LAX and SFO.
Good Luck
Kate- some pics of your champs would be nice. Success on the rest of your tour!
Dag nabbit Kate. Now you’re going to have the SDA on the NSA radar…oh wait.
Lots of pix of Kate’s little darlin’s on Facebook 🙂
Be careful Kate. I know you offer up a prayer occasionally to that Saint Andreas..but he has his faults you know.
Remember,
Captcha:GPS is your best friend..Be safe, and God bless.
Kate, You have friends in LA.

It used ot be great to be able to hit all continents from STL. Then American Airlines, in a fit of stupidity, killed that. They wanted to do everything from NY and DFW. You can get everywhere from DFW, ORD, RDU, MIA, ATL, IAD, etc. I just don’t know why the airlines, with the legs aircraft have today, want to funnel everything through the Westcoast pestholes of SFO and LAX. There are some other cities that used to have a lot of flights but don’t any more. I think that is is because the Airline CEOs can feel like a bigger dog if everything goes through their own back yard. Of course, government landing rights and gates negotiations and auctions have a bit to do with it also.
Hairspray? Must be the other guys. Are you supposed to use product on your dogs?
Drive carefully, and never follow a Honda Civic with a piano strapped to the roof!
Enjoy a song from way back when men were men, and TV was black and white!
