Maybe

Maybe I am not as old and set in my ways as I though. For many years I had thought that there has not been any good music written since about 1977. But then once in awhile I find something that I do like that is not Lynard Synard, ZZ Top, Grand Funk, The Egales, REO Speedwagon, or such. Awhile back I posted a video by David Grey who I thought was quite good. I just found this one by Adel. I have never heard of her but that is probably because I have not listened to the radio in a couple of decades. Too many DJs who don't know when to shut up for my taste. Other people have obviously heard of her, the video has 34 million views. Like always I am a day late and a dollar short. Althogh in this economy I think I am now $20 short.

Avalon

Well with not much to do here I decided to go to Avalon on Catalina Island last Sunday. It was a really good time. I took the first ferry which left at 9 am and arrived in Avalon at 10:15. I stayed until the last ferry of the day left which was 6:45 pm. Catalina is only 22 miles off the coast and many people visit it every year. It is a nice place and has more golf carts than cars. I rented a bicycle for the day and enjoyed looking around. It is very touristy but was still well worth going.

Downtown.

Plenty of empty moorings here.

Beautiful, I love it.

Such a beautiful island.

Another ferry bringing more tourists.

I wouldn't want to buy much gas here.

Dingy dock and harbor.

You can rent almost anything here.

Back to the mainland just before dark.

Wishing

Still in LA working and wishing I was back home on the boat with my wonderful wife.
