Rick, have you ever gone rafting down the American? No, I've never gone river rafting or kayaking - but I've always wanted to... Today I go downtown Los Angeles to witness the grand opening of the first supermarket downtown since the 50's as the area once again sees life abounding. This is great news. How are the dreaded supermarket negotiations going down there? We're kinda wondering about them up here 'cuz our contracts are up beginning in September 2007 - in just six weeks.

It appears the supermarkets and workers have reached a settlement Rick, they vote Sunday I believe.

Hey Rick, can't believe you didn't feel that... anyway, glad all is well...
I'm with Phil on the rafting, I've been down the American twice and it's a blast though one year, due to heavy snow, they canceled our trip at the midpoint. I think a dozen people died within the next week - it was pretty terrifying - but don't let that discourage you - this year was a mild winter and it should be really fun... PLUS you could let your new friend save you... sweet.

Hope everyone out on the Left Coast is all right after that quake. Gotta wonder, Jeffro, who in th' heck is out driving at that hour of the morning? There is a myth that San Franciscans never work, the fact is we are done working by the time the rest of the country gets up.

I live 2 miles from Red Rock Crossing and it at least 10 times more beautiful than the picture shows. I get goosebumps when I am that close (or at least my hair (head & body) gets electrified.
Additionally, coincidence (I think not also), I have a friend across the street who was a WAAC and then became a WAC, during the time mentioned. She was a Captain and responsible pilot ferrying new and old planes from one spot in US to another - I believe she stayed stateside. It is, indeed, one of the prettiest areas I've ever driven through. None of the pictures I had available did it justice!

Shake Rattle and Roll of a different variety. about 20 minutes ago a 4.2 earthquake was the reason I was jolted awake this morning. Felt MUCH stronger. It was centered East of Oakland. Apparently, even people driving felt it. Some power outages in tne area. CA Rick, ya still out there? Yez'em, I'z is here. I never felt a thing! A um... friend ( ![[Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/ca_rickf/Smilies/icon_wink.gif) ) felt it in Sacramento and I am exactly at the half-way point between the two of you - and I felt nothing... ![[Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/ca_rickf/Smilies/icon_confused.gif) This um... friend wants to take me kayaking for a first date on a the American River next Thursday. I said, how about lunch instead? ![[Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/ca_rickf/Smilies/icon_cool.gif) He said, "Oh be adventurous!" ![[Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/ca_rickf/Smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) "Make sure to bring me a life vest" I said. ![[Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f228/ca_rickf/Smilies/icon_smile.gif) I agree with your, em, friend...be adventurous!{advice from a skydiver}

This um... friend wants to take me kayaking for a first date on a the American River next Thursday. I said, how about lunch instead? He said, "Oh be adventurous!" "Make sure to bring me a life vest" I said. Rick, have you ever gone rafting down the American? Great fun and the excitement level depends on how much snow fell the prior winter. This year the river probably is not too ruff, so go ahead, live it up with your "friend." [speaking of which, there is a gay bar here called "Cfrendz", as in, "oh honey, I am just going out to see friends", apparently designed to capture the Republican crowd] Today I go downtown Los Angeles to witness the grand opening of the first supermarket downtown since the 50's as the area once again sees life abounding. Ralphs Grocery got its start in downtown Los Angeles during the horse-and-buggy days. But the supermarket abandoned the city center in 1950, a symbol of the district's rapid decline in the wake of the post-World War II suburban boom.
Now, Ralphs is poised to return to the heart of the city, with a 50,000-square-foot market in the shadow of Staples Center and more than a dozen new condo towers. It is scheduled to open Friday.
The supermarket is a central part of a concerted effort by developers and urban planners to create suburban touches in one corner of downtown, an area known as South Park Saw that about the Ralph's Grocery store...tellus all about it when you get back. I saw some very interesting produce there on display, too!
