The Rose Bowl is located in an arroyo. The people living on the banks of the arroyo and the surrounding streets are wealthy. Old money, multi-multi-million$ homes. They're the people who whine whenever there's an event at the Rose Bowl that causes noise, bright lights and filth, especially from the proles who park on their streets either to save money on parking or because the parking lot is full. If you go to the game, you are making them unhappy. If you pee on their lawns you will make them even unhappier. Don't worry, all the cops will be on traffic control. Just don't let them see your license plate. Enjoy. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== ======== There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' |

You mean excluding real friends and relatives, right? ... Uh... OK, I like Smart & Final and the ethnic produce stores -- Roma and the Lake Market in particular... Do the Burbank and Industry Fry's count? My actual neighbors are OK, although I don't see them very often. You won't like this, but I like the Best Buy across the street. And there's a burrito shop next door called Chipotle which offered a free fancy burrito to each customer as a grand opening special. Next time I want to buy a $5 burrito, that's where I'll go. I used to like Sears when they were an honest shop that sold real merchandise at reasonable prices. Then they tried to break into the fashion business, turned down the lights, fired the knowledgeable salespeople and started using ****ty chrome on their sockets. Good enough? I can think of more if I have to... I guess... -- Cheers, Bev ################################################## ################# "Johnston [Island] was the home of a U.S. chemical weapons disposal facility for 10 years before operations ended in November 2000.

The tickets for the normal Rose Bowl game cost a fortune and are very hard for the general public to get because the schools, the teams, the Pasadena City Fathers and other notables get to buy chunks of tickets at list price, and some of those people actually (NO, say it isn't so!) sell them at a profit. Might be interesting to tally up the cars in the parking lot... They just dragged a dozen of the floats away tonight. They've finally figured out a way to keep people from grabbing the flowers -- they never stop. They drive slowly down the street and turn the corner. I followed the Australia float for a whole block because it had a lot of protea flowers which look like they come from Mars, might eat small animals, and dry nicely. If I'd been wearing real shoes instead of bedroom slippers I might have given it a try, but I figured I'd just slip. Feh. Maybe next year... -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." -- Hunter S.
