Hope all is well with all of you blog readers out there. OK, hope BOTH of you are well.
I get tired of the obligatory whining so I don't bash LA. Most of the time I like living here. Every place has its good and bad attributes including SoCal, but overall this is a wonderful place to live: With that in mind - Reasons LA is a Great Place to Live:
1. Sunshine - lots of it. Sunshine and warm weather are better than rain and snow and cold, period.
2. Oranges, avocados, grapefruit, lemons, and plums all growing right in your yard.
3. Sitting on your back porch in February in shorts and a t-shirt.
4. Year-'round outdoor sports like, oh, I don't know, tennis and softball, for example.
5. Good, well-maintained, well marked freeways stuffed, admittedly, with
6. Decent (on the whole) drivers. Not necessarily polite, but relatively skilled.
7. A huge smorgasbord of great restaurants.
8. Any kind of music you want to hear, any day of the week.
9. Snow in the morning, surf in the afternoon.
10. Your very own gardner for $40 a week. No questions asked, of course.
