The Coffee House

[waday]

The second performer was Juanes, a group from Colombia. Mary Lou and Gary were clearly in a small minority not knowing Juanes and his songs. Juanes had a ton of super videos backing up his performance and songs. Every song from both performers were in Spanish. Gary had no idea that there were some many Colombians living in LA as nearly every song was a sing-a-long. All-in-all another splendid evening under the stars.

What.. You don't know who Juanes is?

My wife loves him, as does her family. When we were dating, I bought two of his albums so I could become familiar with his music.

Pardon me while I go find one of the old love songs...

Para tu amor lo tengo todo
Desde mi sangre hasta la esencia de mi ser
Y para tu amor que es mi tesoro
Tengo mi vida toda entera a tus pies

Y tengo también
Un corazón que se muere por dar amor
Y que no conoce el fin
Un corazón que late por vos​

I'll take your socks and sweater weather and give you our heat and humidity!

Isn't it glorious!

(Still humid, though.)

Yeah - we're looking at low 70s and into upper 60s at night for the next couple of days - windows open if the humidity isn't too high.

Atlantic coast should see some threats from Florence around the end of next week, while the Lakes area will be getting remnants of Gordon, so keep an eye open.

I'm getting a new GIS project that is not Fire/EMS related! We have a request to map HOAs and Civic Associations. I'll have to do a lot of research, first, since a bunch of these carry PO Boxes.

I’m happy to have the cooler weather for the weekend. Family reunion is Sunday and it would be a tough day for the older crowd if they had to be out in the heat. Not to mention moi sitting in the sun at Princess’s field hockey game.

LOL! Gary knows him now. He was very good. Juanes had Mary Lou and Gary dancing in our seats along with the 14,098 Colombians at the Bowl. Gary has given some thought of an album or two. He loves Los Angeles and spoke of LA in glowing terms the entire night.

Gary opens the blinds and tilts his head upwards ... the sky is thick with a heavy marine layer, a continuous blanket of clouds. It is 66F presently, should break into the 80's by the afternoon ... "another perfect day ...". No A/C needed here for awhile.

@ Peg: When Gary lived at the beach, during the day it was 75F. Then the six o'clock fog would rolled in, and it would drop to 55F nearly every night in summer. Gary thinks he should move back.

I can see that Gary. Smokey and the Bandit was one great movie. Truly Burt never seemed to take himself seriously.

I'm over in Cold Springs for propane.

Would that today was truly my Friday.
But I get a few more hours tomorrow.

For the first time in forever I'm listening to Michael Berry in the radio.

The tile looks great. Once the white grout is done, it will look so much better as you won’t be able to see individual tiles, just the marble wall.

Looking good! It's going to be gorgeous!

Still hot & humid here - we had our little taste of fall in the third week of August! It was welcome, but weird. I can't stress anymore over too much heat, because September is finally here and it only gets better from here. Plus...I hate seeing the hummingbirds go. Love those mad little buggers. They are a seasonal treat.

Mmmm.... fried Fish. Not as good as last week but good all the same.

5.50 hours today and for the week so far 27.20.

Pints of Blue Bell are 2 for $4. May take a couple home.

Driving in a nearby town I saw coming toward us, 3 police cars with lights and sirens pursuing an SUV. As they got closer i was puzzled by how slow they were going, then I saw the driver and passenger. Two little old white haired ladies who could barely see above the dash and were completely oblivious to the goings on behind them. They couldn't have been going more than 20mph. It was a "hot pusuit" in slow motion.

Years ago, Gary was driving southbound on the 405 freeway when the northbound traffic thinned and ceased. Gary noticed in his rearview mirror people with signs, hanging off the bridges. After a short spell, a white Bronco goes driving northbound with scores of law enforcement vehicles in parade behind the Bronco with all their lights flashing.

BTW- Mary Lou and Gary watch Juliet Naked. Man, what a wonderful movie. Five stars ... on the smile scale. Just a fun movie, highly recommended.

Speaking of movies, To Kill a Mockingbird was playing on TMC. Man ... what a movie.

Reading another John Sandford book. "Broken Prey" this time. Get to reading and lose all track of time.
