I hear about the tornado that ripped through Brooklyn. That's pretty amazing. Nothing out here except heat and dryness...fires, an earthquake...typical California stuff.

Unfortunately, I will not be going there this year. Too much stuff has come up that I need to take care of.

I also have a new email address so anyone who wants to send me a note send to this one:

andeymc@yahoo.com

Stay dry and safe.

Just showin my face around here...

Our fire season is well under way out here. It is going to be a bad one I think.
I'm not sure if I'll be in NYC this year or not. I'm hoping to. I can't imagine a year without going.
Well things are busy as usual, but there is nothing really exciting going on except for the fires and after a while, there's nothing new to say.
I'll pop in occasionally.

Sorry I've been gone so long. I have been so busy. Scottish Festival, work, chores, etc. I have been hanging out at IMDb, YouTube and DeviantArt. Since watching the PIXAR movie Cars, I have become an obsessed fan (along with countless others). I bet PIXAR doesn't realize what a cult following Cars has. Anyway, I want to pitch a story line for the sequel that involves ths Cars coming to NYC, meeting a gruff ol taxi cab and visiting the Chrysler Building. So there's my NYC spin on it. I love NYC!!!

As if LA needs more traffic troubles...

Their work cut out for them.

Well, here we go again! Another fire. This time it's in Griffith Park (LAs Central Park) and has burned 600 acres and dangerously close to landmarks, the Observatory, the Greek Amphitheater and the carousel, as well as the zoo and golf course. The cause of the fire has not been determined as of yet but it has been terribly dry out here with relative humidity around 5%. Plus all of this brush which hasn't burned in decades. The air once again smells of smoke. LAFD has done an excellent job of keeping the flames away from homes and structures. More pictures are in my photo section.
