I lost a damn good hat in LA

[MAC]

it's ok, tho. I'll find another.

ok, here's the deal:

I scaled down my pics for dial-up-ers (like me)
but each pic is a link to a larger pic
....so sit back and enjoy a few pics of where I went last weekend

Please note:
I did NOT take piktars of hot latinas! :(
I doubt either my 6 year old daughter or my ex wife would have appreciated it much anyway....although there where many, many fine latinas in LA....and it was 80 degrees, which is an inferno for them so they where all almost naked...well their cleavage and thighs where anyway :D

but I digress......I do have some pics of The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach (that's snoop dogg's home town)

That's where the queen mary is docked

The aquarium has thousands of species of sea creatures

and some of the aquariums are so big that they have divers inside them cleaning and feeding fish

I can't wait till my daughter's old enough to burn a tire in cali.

I am oddly refreshed.
Hope you enjoyed the pics.

I recommend your daughter take the title of "The Game" from mudflap. Any young girl who can have that kind of joy expressed in her face while holding a giant millipede is teh winnar! :)

Little girls who lobe bugs and animals = win. :D

Looks like she had a great time. It also looks like I need to hit that aquarium next time I'm in L.A.
