Everyone wants to talk to me...

On Monday I had many doctor appointments which brought me to my old stomping grounds of Arcadia. So my day was mostly full of strangers who just started talking with me. I'm the talk-a-tive type so I talked back. Waiting for my mamogram (yes I have to have these nightmare exams!) I met an 84yr old man who looked 50 and I said "Wow you look great for 84!". He responded "The problem with being 84 is that you get 'Wow you look great for 84' more than you want . Then....



I decided to have lunch at Claro's the local 100% Italian food shop/bakery. I sat outside at the table with the lady in the shoot. Turns out she is an artist and had lots to say about writing, painting and the beautiful day. I took a shot when I was leaving and when she wasn't looking. I am also enjoying the throw-back to the 70's/80's with the station wagon and old CA plates of Blue/Gold. Now they are White/Blue with red California on them.

Off to my usual doc to get the results of my anual blood screening (Trigycerides = 46, HDL = 71, LDL - 49, Cholesterol = 129) I got into a debate on health with some yahoo I didn't appreciate in waiting room. Luckily I was called in early.
This shot is from in front of my doctor's office...view I grew up with! Looking up 2nd street infront of 1st Ave School.



On my way to drop of the athletic release form for Football and Wrestling at my son's doctor...I discovered this fabulous view. East on Del Mar at Raymond looking NE. Filmore stop is just to my right.


This one is for Bill. Enjoy!
