Detroit – Tourist pics
Here's all my sightseeing pics from Detroit. I walked all over the downtown area from Greektown, to the Ren Center, along the Riverwalk and to the Cobo Center. It was a very walkable area even late at night. The People Mover (there are some pics of the track in the group) gets you all around... Continue Reading →
Netroots Nation 14 – My First Protest!

Where do you take your cell phone?
During my often adventurous travels around Indiana last week, the mom I was riding with and I stopped at a Panera for lunch. As I got up to go to the bathroom, I left my purse with my cell phone in it, at the table with my companion. The lady who charged in front of... Continue Reading →
Santa Ana winds – Beauty and the Beast
A rare 2nd time in the month of May - the winds shift from coming off the ocean in the west bringing moisture and cool air to blowing in from the desert through the mountain canyons at the east. Hot, dry and extremely gusty. It brings temps as high as 90 right at the ocean... Continue Reading →
