Plans of moving to my new apartment got scratched when the snow report described the powdery 18 inches Mount Baldy received on Friday, and the 12 more it would cheerfully collect overnight. 30 inches of fresh snow just minutes out of LA!

Polite in Public
I love a good photo booth. I cheered when some photo booth companies started printing out 2 strips of photos so the host could keep one and the guest could keep the other. I celebrated the custom borders with room for a company logo or personal message. I even gave a standing ovation when they
