We're still having moderate summerlike days here in Los Angeles. Not heat spell summer, but near perfect summer. It's the kind of weather to love...
Last weekend we headed on down to Yuma AZ for an overnighter. The power company was doing upgrades in our neighborhood and had to shut off the electricity for a full night. We figured we'd go away so we wouldn't have to be in the dark on an early Sunday evening.
It was a great quick trip. We drove via Palm Springs and down the western shore of the Salton Sea. We spent a relaxing afternoon looking around Yuma--a nice town now, but maybe not so much in the heat of summer. We returned home by way of San Diego where we had lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was a quick trip home with no traffic delays. Smooth sailing on a Monday and no traffic back-ups. Something I've rarely seen here.
Life is good.
Battle of the Bands Results
My previous Battle between Kathleen Edwards and The Bad Plus doing versions of the Flaming Lips song "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" was not a bad one. I love the percussive jazz sound of the piano centric The Bad Plus. What a great group with a fantastic interpretation of this song. That being said, I'm going with the more relaxing version which I think is more illustrative of what the song is about.
Final Vote Tally
Kathleen Edwards 5 votes
The Bad Plus 7 votes
