Jesus Is Magic: Sarah Silverman In LA

He plays Sarah's neighbor on the show and was also the guy that security was giving a hard time to get in before the show. No respect...oh...wrong comedian.

We went to the new Club Nokia at LA Live in Downtown LA across from Staples Center to see Sarah Silverman and the cast from her show perform. If you don't know who Sarah is she is a comedian with a TV program and she is kind of raunchy and sounds a bit racists. She kind of like a young female version of George Carlin and you either love her or hate her...I love her.

The program started with several of her cast members performing stand up individually and followed by Sarah. The show was quite good and I highly recommend seeing her unless you are easily offended. I took pictures of her but for some reason they all turned out blank...hmmm. :)

LA Auto Show

Kiddy Go Cart

The LA Auto show is the first auto show of the year with many cars being displayed for the first time in the World so when I came here I was really excited about seeing some of the new designs especially the new hybrids but it was a bit disappointing unfortunately.

Yelping In Malibu

I went to my Yelp Elite event at the Beachcomber in Malibu. Yelp is a online group that reviews businesses and when one makes sufficient contributions to yelp they make you an Elite member. As a reward they have Elite events that you are invited to that includes food and drinks and sometimes a few more perks.

So Cal Fires

The skies are bright orange/red from the fires

Although there was a small fire nearby in Palos Verdes most of sky is filled with the ash and smoke from the valley (20+ miles NW) and from OC ( 30+ miles E) from the South Bay.

When we have these huge firestorms most of our fire departments from all around come together to help.

Pray for the firefighters!

The Great Southern California ShakeOut: THIS IS JUST A DRILL!

At 10 a.m. on November 13, millions of people throughout Southern California participated in the ShakeOut Drill, the largest earthquake preparedness activity in U.S. history and there were more than 3 million people that participated in the state of California.

As a member of the Redondo Beach Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member we had a drill at the South Bay Galleria that included CERT members from Manhattan Beach, Lomita, Torrance, El Segundo as well as our local fire department and ambulance services.

Pets and Critters In The South Bay

Our Neighbors

My cat Remy made the local paper so I thought I would just say a quick shout out to our pets and critters!

We love our pets in the South Bay and on any given day you can go to the dog park or walk along the Strand to see home much.

In the South Bay in LA there are dogs, cats, bird and horses as well as some local wild animals like squirrel, opossums, foxes and I have once been awoken to a raccoon stuck in a tree when the sprinklers turned on. In PV there have been sightings of some wild cats too.

Election Day In The South Bay In LA

Every year, no matter if it is only a small local election, I vote. I just don't vote by responding to phone calls or by party affiliation I vote by spending hours, usually days, reading up on the politicians and propositions. I read the rebuttals and find out who is supporting them and who is against them. Most of the time I can not find out enough info from the election info sent out so I have to go online and do my own research.


I won't go into who I voted for or what propositions I voted for or against because I try to keep this non-personal but all I will say is it is great people got out and voted this election and I hope that this enthusiasm continues for future elections. All I ask is to do your research before voting. Don't listen to ads on TV....matter of fact ignore them completely and really look what you are voting for or against.

[we will now tune to our regularly scheduled program]
