Traveling East, Part 1
We have run out of citrus in our house. We are keeping Art's observation in mind, about too much citrus rotting on the trees in Southern California..
My wife says "No more buying it in the stores, let's pick it (with permission).
So we headed for Mt. Helix, the Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime & Orange capital of our metro area to restock.
After only 10 minutes, we could barely carry our canvas bags to the car. The eggs were a gift; we didn't pick or harvest them.
This should last us for awhile. We did go back up to the top of Mt. Helix and take some pictures.
We spotted a lunatic driver (much like some WPS folk who shall remain nameless) and I got a few pictures as he zoomed by:
If you see the wall of rock to the right of the road in this picture, imagine it from the top:
where much to our astonishment, we saw a couple perched on the edge in lawn chairs,
recording or podcasting from the top of the rock!
We saw some flora and fauna too.
I apologize for the blurry picture below. I shot wildly in the air as a group of butterflies were "Doing It" all around us. I must have missed that day in junior high school biology because I never knew they could mate in flight.
Whew! Walking back down the hill we saw the Fast White Car in the parking area.
Stopped to buy some ingredients (including the best chips I've ever had) and made a taco salad which we ate while trying to decide whether Negra Modelo from a can (left) is better than from a bottle (right).
I wore this Seiko Presage.

Traveling East, Part 2
Today we went to Balboa Park, home of the San Diego Zoo, the Auto Museum, the Air & Space Museum and many other great things. Our (*&*&^% City Council has installed parking meters after a century of free parking, and visitors have dropped 20-4...
Breathtaking landscapes! That includes the Seiko.
Is this Seiko the 60th anniversary piece? I tried looking it up but the ones I see have a little date window which I don’t see on yours. Does yours have a date window which is hidden by the angle of the picture?
No, the date window was hidden by Photoshop magic
Because I forgot to set the date yesterday…🥺 I have both dial colors ...
I have never to my knowledge…
Tortured a Mazda RX-8 on the road 😂😂😂 Although many years ago i remember trying to convince my father to get one for my mom 😉 Another cool journey and love the Presage that went with it 😊👌🏻👍🏻
Wonderful tour of Mt Helix but where's the rotating house? That's an interesting RX-8. Rear wing is a bit much but love the rotor painted on the door. Still trying to figure out the X stuff.
Maybe UN is one of his sponsors. Thanks for sharing this! ;-)
So which is it, Mike? Bottle better . . .
. . . or can? Re citrus in backyards: you should take a trip north to my neighborhood. We could nourish Vermont with all the oranges and grapefruits left hanging.
We think it's the bottle
Something in how the head fizzes or not. What's the real term? I never learned my way around beers, having wasted too many brain cells on wine. Mike
