Celebrate Black Friday with friends at Tuna Canyon Park
As someone who enjoys his occasional blatant consumerism, I spent this year’s favorite shopping day in much more serene surroundings. After an incredible brunch with friends in Topanga Canyon, we journeyed on to Tuna Canyon Park. The air was so clear we could see for miles, even all the way to downtown Los Angeles. After the sun set, Sushi (and Sake). What a wonderful day.
Ride though the forest on the steam locomotive Dixiana!
Departing from Roaring Camp to the summit of Bear Mountain, this was one of the most amazing train rides I have been on. Certainly the most picturesque just beside Henry Cowell Redwood State Park.
This railroad has the distinction of having the steepest grade in North America! The 9.25% grade didn’t seem so extreme when we rode it, however it did require the train to switch back and reverse direction in order to complete the journey. I got a real education from the Brakeman on how a steam locomotive operates. Enjoy my photographs.

Epic birthday Talisman game!
It ended in an amazing way. Both the front runners dead and victory only barely snatched from a near tie!
Berries are back!
Farmers markets have berries and for a limited time, you can find Golden Raspberries! These raspberries are sweeter and more delicious then your conventional raspberries (notable for their color. More yellow/orange then red). I love it when they are available and I stock up because they are usually gone by June. I also picked up some mulberries because I had never had them before. Despite an infamous monkey and weasel known for circling a mulberry bush, I found them quite ordinary. A novelty for berry lovers like me, but nothing so special it must be tasted.
Lamenting the lost ride. . .
Yesterday I was in a collision that destroyed my Hyundai Elantra of nearly a decade! It was a car i never planned on owning, but without which i cannot have imagined my life these past years. It is important to say at this time that i escaped relatively uninjured. I put a great deal of effort into this car. Shortly after i purchased it, i installed my first carputer. With the incredible help of BJ and his father Bill and a headless G4 laptop. I wanted to finally post these pictures now that it is all over and done. From prototype and preparation to wiring and construction. It was amazing and it was done years before the iPhone. Bill even welded me a custom bracket to make it all fit together securely.
Looks like Tomtom is getting into the street view game.
I saw this guy driving in Burbank. I wonder which products will benefit from this data? I wonder what other data is being gathered. cough cough. . google wifi scandle.
