First post of the day...

Just enjoyed a break at Panera... Now to go to work. 

Rant of the day...

Its April Fool's Day and the Fool on the Hill is still in power.

Another few little surprises in the financial picture....

Fremont Investment and Loan the banking division of Fremont General Corporation is underfunded, after writing $81 billion in sub-prime loans. ... shades of the Savings and Loan scandals.  Please see the clarification below about Fremont in the comment (although anonymous) about who Fremont really is.....

Lehmann Bros. got out of trouble by the skin of their teeth, find money enough to head of a liquidity crisis. ... shades of '29

Our illustrious city manager let us know he's going to honor our contracts for the next year... that is big news because if he didn't there would be a lot of angry people. 

I saw a pink mini this morning, not one of those wanna be minis made by BMW, but a real mini, pink with the number 13 on the door.  I tried to get a picture but it got by me somehow. Got to find that car and get  a picture. Think Pink, and a true Mini.

I wonder if I should work part time after I retire for full salary? There are rumors they might offer such.

I want a day off... but I got a  long (5 day) week this week... 44 hours.

I think someone should try a 'mobile party'... the day on the Metro, tour LA for a day (or two) using only the Metro.

I need a day at the Getty....
