Continuing my exploration these hills, i found another trailhead. This time in Simi Valley and despite a understated entrance, we found some exciting features. Including this wash under the 118! Respite from the sun and incredible acoustics. There was a cave that none of the trails we found seemed to head towards. We met another hiker who gave us an idea of how to find it. Next time.
This was and awesome surprise invite from a friend. I have loved this film from my first viewing. i own it on VHS, DVD, and Laserdisc! The Princess Bride screening at Ebell Theater with Q & A with Cary Elwes moderated by Maurice LaMarche. Incredible stories told with the unbelievable voices of the film’s cast and crew performed by Cary. Cary was promoting his book, As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Download the audio from the Q & A here or play it bellow.
My first No Kings protest downtown and it was exciting. Live performance, crazy characters, great signs and lots of camaraderie. i gave out stickers and made friends as we idled and marched. Unlike the first and second march, this time i traveled to downtown los angeles to participate in a much larger gathering. i couldn’t get pictures of all the incredible costumes. Everyone was so friendly and curious. i lost count of how many times i bumped into or stepped on the foot of a fellow protestor.
The Vintage Computer Festival is getting tons of goodies from me. This year i’ve got literally three carloads! (thanks Eric & Harry) Some is so good it’s destined for the consignment room. Don’t worry i’ve got plenty for the free table. i’ve got a box of unused 3.5″ 500GB PATA disks! spares for the xRAID. who needs 7TB of 2GB fiber SAN? Form an orderly line please.
I returned to Disneyland with some first timers. It hasn’t been very long, but there have been a lot of changes. Fast Pass is now a paid upgrade. Storybook rides now feature video projection. Splash Mountain is now Bayou Country despite keeping the big splash. The Haunted Mansion is in Nightmare before Christmas mode with even more fun changes. The original Club 33 door is now stroller parking! The Electric Light Parade has returned completely refreshed and a new Fantasyland Castle projection show provided exciting new entertainment.
Better weather, funnier signs, and even more engaged neighbors! At the second No Kings rally, everyone was delightful and excited about positive change in the USA.
Not all the buds bloomed last night, but i got two good ones making this a success. I’ll try again tomorrow night. hopefully it keeps getting better. more info on the plant. (4K Video)
Second night of time lapse.

Lots of awards presented. i’ve got to enter more photo competitions. https://la3dclub.com/
Not one of the big marches in Los Angeles, but there must be well over 250 people of all ages!
