Eveyone is focused on Louisiana, and the southern states. What a lot of people don't know is that we had our own hurricane in Phoenix last thursday. Winds were at over 100mph. The city is still cleaning up trees that were knocked over and high-rise buildings that had all their windows blown out. I lucked out with my car. 2/3 of the Palo Verde tree in my front yard fell on my car. Just the mirror.. that they are quoting me at 2k for that and the small dent in the quarter panel.. the adjuster told me BMW stands for "bring your wallet," I am inclined to believe him.

Seal Beach. My first trip to Los Angeles, I like it! I did not think I would ever say that. I went there for an OSHA conference and luckily had an hour to spend at the beach before my flight back to Phoenix.
