California

Here are some pictures from my December trip to southern California. The pictures aren't great, but they are nice to look at on a snowy Ohio day.


In the valley.


Lilies?

Palms.



Neighbor's flora.



Oranges.



Lemons and roses.
It was a nice trip, but it was weird to see Christmas decorations in such high temperatures. Odd to see so many things in bloom in December, too.

Suspension

My mom got the DVD box set of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for Christmas and we watched the first two-part episode today. I remember watching the show as a kid, but I don't know whether I've ever seen the pilot. What I do know is that I was completely taken by surprise when the theme song started and the familiar tune had lyrics!



When the end credits rolled, I found out the song was sung by Kipp Lennon, who has a website with audio clips available for download. Do yourself a favor and download Suspension (Theme from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) immediately! It is awesome.
