Beautiful Huntington Back Bay. Of course, you can't see all the garbage that has washed ashore or the airplanes that take off every three minutes from the airport immediately adjacent to the wildlife preserve. These factors make it significantly less beautiful. On the positive side, we've been having some GREAT weather in California. It was the first day that wasn't overpoweringly hot and humid. We can now have dinner outside without fear of immediate sunburn. Of course, the biting flys have made it less comfortable in recent weeks....
