Hadn't thought of that. But those are human-propelled (aren't they?). The sushi conveyor is fully automated!

Because you gotta be quick off the draw. What about the Chinese with their 'Lazy Susan'? If you're not careful, the Peking Duck goes spinning past and you end up with the flied lice.

Dim Sum would be at the Q Q Buffet, which has a buffet of Chineese, Japanese, Korean and Italian foods...just not that good.

You don't know the 'humans' I hang out with!

jkt, we go with the flow. Mexican's fine by us. After a couple of Margaritas during 'Happy Hour' (4 - 8 pm?) who cares about the food? We're there for the company.

The mexican joint is right next to the theatre that Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen used to take double dates (where Last Comic Standing is currently filmed) and in the same block as the bookshop.

And the weather, tink, don't forget the weather!

(This is turning into another typically grim British summer - I had to put the lights on during the afternoon today because it was so dark, and now I'm tempted to put the heating on!)

I've not turned on my heater in about four years. (ducking)

And when I lived in Ventura county, not only did I not use the heater, I turned on the A/C only twice (briefly) during my final year there!

And people wonder why the cost of a home in the Mid-West is what us Californian's call a down payment...
