The Goddess Pomona must be looking over your shoulder. You even got a car in which to ride! Let's hope there is a parade next year.
I tried to put in a "good word" to you-know-who but we really did need the rain for my beloved valley. I am proud that the parade came back and am always amused by my gringo friend David's insights into that great city. I look forward to his next "excellent" adventure.
