They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, if that’s the case, I want my picture back. What you’re looking at is one of the homes in a nearby neighborhood (304 S. Muirfield Rd. for any of you with leftover eggs from Halloween). As you can see, on this fine winter evening, our good resident homeowner has decided to extend his Christmas wishes to his whole zip code, as well as the entire staff of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Thanks to this caring individual, I won’t ever have to be bothered with the trouble of having to remember what the upcoming year is. Now, anytime I forget, I can just hop in my car, take a short drive up Rimpau, turn right at 3rd and have the pleasure of being reminded that, “by gum, it must be 2008!”. Yes, there are many things to be thankful for at Christmas time, and right now, I’m just thankful that he hasn’t individually decorated each of the 18 miniature David‘s on his front lawn (I’m not joking here). Each of the statuettes has much to be thankful for as well, for now, instead of being nude, they are each appropriately attired in a jolly, red Santa-hat. Next year, I’m hoping for something even more minimalist.
