Zen Monday: #114
Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what I think the photo's about. I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, something odd or silly. And unless I absolutely must say something I stay out of the comments box to avoid influencing the discussion.
There's no right or wrong. We're here to have fun.
Just proves that anything can be bought in LA. (I found one of those in Long Beach and posted it on a rainy day. It works so much better with a view of the dry mountains. Excellent photo, P.)
Dozens of thirsty bollards formed a line around the block, patiently waiting to be quenched. Crowd control was not necessary, according to Police Chief Phillip Sanchez.
Is that a porta-potty in the distance? Some of the posts in line are even a little animated, like their doin' the "really gotta go" dance...and the big referance to rain probably isn't helping!
When someone figures out how we can trade rain with places like Seattle and the UK, I will hand them the Nobel Peace prize myself. (I will also serve them a nice spritzer.)
In the meantime, Mister Earl, I want to see that rain dance.
An umbrella organization that does drop shipping?
ReplyDeleteWe have plenty over here that you can have for free, Petrea.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're finished with your rental rain, simply drop it off at the depot and collect your refundable deposit. Easy!
ReplyDeleteI see the BLUE (color)
ReplyDeleteIt feels good!:)
The Occidental Runners photo leaves me speechless. However, I'll take this good dose of blue with the strong lines and colors!
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. Rain dances still work fine for us.

In the Southern California weather you're much better off leasing your umbrella than outright buying it.
ReplyDeleteWell, someone forgot to pay the landlord.
ReplyDeleteDr Thompson's color theory at work. You'll have to visit Ms Spritzer to figure what thats about.
ReplyDeleteactually it's Spitzer (I liked the water reference employed in Sp(r)itzer but Spitzer works too..... ok, it's hot
Seattle can provide all the rain you want for no charge. In fact, I'd pay you to take some of it.
ReplyDeleteThose orange pylons are notorious groupies.
ReplyDeleteThe State of California hits on a sure-fire way to balance the budget without raising taxes. No more free rain!
ReplyDeletePetrea, I suspect that telephone pole was made from a Pasadena leaning palm.
ReplyDeleteTelephonia crashdownicus, if I'm not mistaken. In this heat, the calls drop like flies …
ReplyDeleteThe magic of moviemaking in Southern California.
ReplyDeleteAfter trial period, you can buy?
ReplyDeleteWV: exazy . . . .

ReplyDelete"It never rains in Southern, California"
ReplyDeleteI'd like to rent some of that rain on this the hottest day in recorded history in LA.
