Too bad about the meteor shower but I knew all those places where you went. Never been to Slowjamastan but I have a good idea where it is, The last time we saw George Yates was right there at Peg Leg Smiths. So sad about those Ocotillos and I thought the grass at Christmas Circle looked pretty stressed too.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.com
