Scenes from LA's Melrose and Fairfax Flea Market
July 14
Looking in on things. |
It's not that that I'm trying to make it "literature".
Pink flamingos and palm trees |
Like M. Lee always says, "blog writing isn't writing".
"Don't you listen to him, honey!" |
Of course, that's bullshit.
It's all good |
But he's also right.
Man and man in the glass |
Anyway, it's like I said, I'm still turning and tweeking photos
Flea market explorer with David and Marilyn |
and not getting to the damn list of places we went.
The yellow-breasted Haggler Habitat: flea markets, yard sales, thrift shops, rummage sales and kool-aid stands |
So here are a few from LA's Melrose and Fairfax Flea Market
for your amusement and to refresh the page.

My little problem
I am finally having to admit that I have a problem with, how do I say, cameras? It's not a technical problem. It's not the camera. It's me. I'm obsessed with taking photos. It's unmanageable. I spent the day juggling an absurd number of images from the last month alone. I (excuse me. quick pause while I take a couple of photos of some really fabulous clouds in the evening sky) 'm not kidding. It's bad. I am drowning in images. I've got to start dealing with this.

Sky Bridge home
Sunday lunch with the Chaus at the Hsi Lai Buddhist Monastery - Hacienda Heights, CA |

We're home. Or were. I'm writing this as we drive across Florida on Alligator Alley. No. Haven't seen any alligators. They troll rest stops for handouts but this time we're on a mission and not stopping
Crossing Tampa's Sky Bridge yesterday with Swami, Minerva and Andy. |
Thanks to M. Lee's fastidious planning, the LA trip went very well. Once I download the photos I'll post a few and a recap.

Lunch at the Buddhist monastery buffet
We're out of here in 15 minutes to pick up Kathy's friends and then... well .... the title tells the rest of the tale. Photos to follow here and at Instagram. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm totally sucked into Instagram these days. It's the Deconstructionist's fault. I joined just to see her photos and then she stopped posting. Go figure. And her blog hasn't been updated for over a year. Damn! She's my favorite blogger, and not just because she's my daughter. She's a wonderful writer.
Anyway, like I said, photos to follow, including (at some point) photos of the Airbnb place we're staying. It's pretty cool and in a great location, two blocks from the Melrose entrance to Paramount Studios. Every time we drive by it I expect to see a long black limo pulling in with Marilyn Monroe in the backseat.

LA wanderings

We're in LA for the week but I just can't keep up with it here. As usual, we are running from morning till night. I'm dashing this off at breakfast time but we're leaving shortly and that will be the day.
