Christmas, LA Style

elbeno, 21 December, 2009

The sun is shining, the grass is green, the orange and palm trees sway…

And I am driving through the neighbourhood when I see a woman standing outside her house. She’s blond, tanned, and “dressed” in a red bra, panties, and heels – you know, for Xmas. And her photographer friend is taking her Xmas photos.

Just another normal December day in greater Los Angeles.

Another book sale last weekend. A bit light on technical books this time, but I did snag quite a quantity of old SF paperbacks, and a box set of software engineering classics. Of late, I’ve had some unsolicited interest in RotateAVI. There is a reported bug that causes it to…

    Merry Christmas to you, balmy Deanes, from we shivering Boards
