Do you have an ax?

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is putting in a storm drain on Palos Verdes Drive South. Apparently, these trees were removed and the wood is free for the taking. You'd need a large truck and/or ax, though.

Painted Cave

We're on a boat coming out of the Painted Cave, Santa Cruz Island, which is one of the deepest ocean caves in the world.

This "woodie" station wagon with a surfboard on top is the classic picture of California summer.

Hiking on Santa Rosa Island

This is a view of one of the hiking trails that we took last week on Santa Rosa. We were hiking in the national park portion of the island.

One more from Broadford, Isle of Skye, Scotland

During certain times of the year, I can see the squid fishing boats from my windows. My self-chosen sister city, Broadford, also has residents who support themselves from the sea.

Sister City Choice for Rancho Palos Verdes- Broadford, Scotland

As far as I've been able to discover, we don't have a sister city. So I elect Broadford, Scotland on the Island of Skye. This small village, like my city, is on the water and filled with picturesque houses and interesting people. It also has a lively community of artists and craftsmen. Fishing is important there just like in our city. See tomorrow's picture.
