OK my day today started out great actually. however a few things are messing it up.. mainly my clumsiness ... well the camera store called and my old Pentax is ready to roll.. it needed a cleaning and one of the lenses was not working correctly..so i had it fixed at Dean's camera repair in the city of Torrance CA... would recommend him if you ever need a repair on your camera.. he's fairly honest and does a good job( at least i think so , just got my camera back). This is good news cause i can take pictures now and pursue my little hobby i have of mine.. that would be taking pictures! Anyway considered buying a brand new camera ..however thought it out and just doesn't make sense .. I mean it is just a hobby of mine taking pictures.. don't think i have ever sold a picture of mine.. i am sure a few folks have stolen a few of my pics online. However what i am trying to say is i am not a professional photographer.if i was the new camera would of been a good option.. anyway have a zoom lens that goes i believe 200 meters and also the standard lens the 55 meter one..(the one that i was having problems with and just fixed). So my external flash is working and a good cleaning.. (it was showing a hair when i took the picture).. but oh the point of this blog.. yes that was the good news today getting my camera back ..the bad news (well nothing major). When i went to the market to purchase some extra fine corned beef from Boar's head brand.. the clerk offered me a sample.. she gave me the corned beef over the counter.. which i proceeded to drop on the market floor. first klutzy move of the day.. second kluty move was when i about prepare my corned beef sandwich at home.. reached for a festive plastic Halloween themed glass .. thought was about time to start using for this month..well there was a wine glass next to it.. that fell on the kitchen floor and shattered.. argggg don't you hate that ..anyway had to clean up the mess and here i am writing my blog .. and about to get ready for a off day.. not sure what i doing .. but i need a shower and shave for sure.. anyway here's a pic from my digital cam a few weeks back (on a off day) down in Huntington beach.. who knows may end up down there today.. far away from Los Angeles...see that city enough during my work week ..anyway thanks for reading about my day .. that is about half way over by the way.. it's a important day for me i am off from work!

OK after going to the market down in Torrance the other day, which buy the way is a great place if you like European export's and a great deli on site.. there's also a great restaurant deli(where i had my lunch on off day) where you can have lunch.. that i would highly recommend .They also have a main dining room too in the village.. i am talking about Alpine Village in Torrance Ca. (the 110 and Torrance Blvd).They have big bands that play during the week in the main restaurant and it's overall a great establishment.. However this is not the purpose of this little blog to promote Alpine village. The purpose of this little blog is I Bought a few items in the market they have on site, and was surprised they wanted to charge me $.10 (that's 10 cents) for a bag.Have been reading about this in the paper and heard though the media that this is coming .. when we have to have our own bags.. apparently it's good for the environment..well was totally unprepared for this, and declined the bag ( i only had two items).. so it's coming folks, glad i was caught off-guard in a small market i don't really frequent to much.However know the day is coming soon when you have to start bringing your own bags very soon in the bigger stores, I frequent more often .. purpose of this little blog, be prepared too

bring your own bags to the market.. odd combination i got , chocolate and beer (the chocolate was for someone i was going to visit) however the beer was for me.. think i had it before and i tend to like the darker beers..however not sure i would recommend, chocolate and beer together..
