Ringo & The Band @ The Greek

Image
Kinda a belated b-day present. We usually go to the Bowl, but she's never been to the Greek. I wanted Steve Miller & Peter Frampton, but she missed that date. This was pretty good. Now I can say I've seen a Beatle live. And Gary Dreamweaver Wright stopping in at the finale. All in all, a good night. As you can see, I took very few pics. *

Gunter Grass: Final Words & From The Diary Of A Snail

Been reading Gunter for a while now. His Last Goodbye went pretty fast (mostly short poems & sketches), the Snail is going snail slow (my fault as much as his: I'm caught up in school again). Anyway, two poems (one about some handcrafted caskets, the other the title and final poem) from Of All That Ends. [[[Excuse Kindle. They are "lined" poems but Kindle doesn't care.

Only the dahlia bulbs were missing, having bloomed elsewhere, perhaps. What moved the thieves, at no small effort, to return our nearly forgotten boxesā€” one made of pine, the other of birchā€” to the place from which they came?

Homeless problem? Trash problem? Both? Do you suppose the new face of Downtown LB (coming our way) will include a magic wand? Hope so.

Old Car Show under a New Crew (9/9/2018)???

Image
Heard it was a New Crew but I don't know for sure. For shore. If so, it pretty much went off without a hitch. Maybe the cars rolled in a bit later than last year? Maybe more antique firetrucks (the only thing I got a pic of)? A nice cool walk through gas-guzzling history.
