    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.

    Of course, but it is Vel and how else would she have gotten there - by tuba?

    ZG may have been a little bit tipsy when she took this picture.

    Wow CPSU I would have thought Santa Barbra would have had a much cleaner looking Macy's than that!

    Funny you mention that.. Mrs. CPSUraf took the architectural design tour downtown as a part of a mobile workshop and than told me that when Macy*s did come in, it had to abide by the whole "spanish/monterey style architecture". It is a big building..it just so happens that the side of the wall is a blank facade that the City hates

    Looks like it was clean once, then the CA city planners came to town.

    The logo seems odd.... I like the expression though.

    It's like he's thinking "G'damn macy's. Why'd the old lady grad me here? Why couldn't we have gone to Sears? At least I could have looked at tools there while she was looking at blouses." Awesome.

    Maybe next weekend I'll drive down to Elmira or Binghamton and get a Macy's shot.

    Do I get bonus points for posting a picture of my wife in front of Harrod's in London? <insert snobby smilie looking down on Macy's here>

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

    Make that four. (Santa Rosa CA, Coddingtown Shopping Center)



    I'll post more tomorrow from our trip to the Golden State. Images will include our walking trip through the historic Petaluma CA downtown and around San Francisco's Alamo Square.

    There are no Macy's in Eastern NC so this one in downtown SLC will have to do.

    Macy's took over the ZCMI store??? I'm glad that great facade was preserved, at least.
