Spring Cleaning!

   Well it looks as if that was accomplished last night. Sir Eric called it renovations.  Either way the dust is gone!

Interestingly while driving to work this morning at 7 am not  single Crawford, Watts or Alcorn sign was in sight, huh I suppose the elves were out all night “spring cleaning”.  Fastest disappearance in history. 

Reality sucks sometimes, I guess.  Sir Eric was so full of himself, and the bootlickers who commented on his blog regularly probably gave him this feeling of invincibility and righteousness.  That balloon really got popped last night.  I am sure he’ll come back, and spin it as the “Dirts” having stolen the election again.  No recognition that maybe, just maybe, his particular brand of isolationism and paranoia may be out of the mainstream.

You’re IT!

I’ve been tagged. Yep, first time in years of blogging. And by no other than the next Mayor of Pasadena!

So here is the deal:

If you could go back to any time in history (for a visit, or you can stay if you really want to), what time would you go back to?

Make a list of four. Name the place, year(s), and event and/or person you’d like to see first hand. In the fifth item (optional) you can put your four honorable mentions. Then tag four people, and send them an e-mail to let them know you’ve tagged them. That’s it!

That’s it? That’s it. OK, this is gonna take some effort.

1. December 1, 1955 Montgomery, Alabama. I would have liked to have been on the Bus when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and began the Montgomery bus boycott.

2. California, Owens Valley and Mono Lake before the turn of the century. I would have loved to see this part of California before the water wars started. Also a bit later to have been among some of the Artists that captured that beauty, Ansel Adams.

3. About 2,550 B.C., Ancient Egypt. I want to see how those pyramids were really built.

4. Diagon Alley Village of Hogsmeade, England, present day. Just because.

Ok I am tagging! Jill at eyelevel Pasadena, Ed (or Kate) at Editors corner (maybe he will come out to blog this), Claremont Insider and Daisy the dog. Ok also tagging Amanda Living in Monrovia!
