I love LA!

From afar, obviously. But here it is from Anear. The view from the top of Pascal’s health club, the vaunted LAAC. A very nice club, and a very nice setup. Hell, I’d join just for the reading rooms.

On the other hand I’d avoid the bloody racquetball courts like the plague. Pascal plays despite being of more advanced age than I, though he has a built in chiropractor, which helps, no doubt

Interesting to see the RKO radio tower with my own eyes.

UPDATE: Lest anyone think, as Pascal says, that I have taken a big swig of the Kool Ade, I was making a reference to this song:

Which I do, actually, love. And I love Laura Howard Granito, who was the “Big old nasty redhead”- she was in several videos at the time, and she looked nice in those high waisted pants.

LA itself, if it weren’t for hot open top cars and old friends, I would never get anywhere near it. The city is a good place to be from.

One of the nicest products at the shot show

to me, anyway, was this rangefinder. I have used Leupold and Nikon, and I have to say, I likethis one better. it’s very light, very compact, seems pretty rugged, and is MADE IN THE USA. I especially like the brightness of the rangefinder. I think their binocs are still Chinese, but the rangefinders are worth the visit. Give them a look, and if you need a finder, I think you will like these. No, I didn’t get a free one. No, I’m not making any money from this.
