Nice pictures Paul, but who's the guy in the red shirt that looks sneaky? Oh....and in post #13-4 you used the word, ostentatious. What does that mean(A) and (B) does it pertain to palms? and © did you make this word up? Just wondering old buddy. :D

I'm ready when you are!

(Like Delta Airlines)

Though, I have to say that the Indo place is the first one I've ever tried.  I've heard that there's a LOT of them up her but I never noticed before.

Actually, we have a cool Pho place up here -

"My Dung", up in Rosemead.

My brother and I peed ourselves laughing at the name as we went insided and hawged out on basic Viet chow, including those papery eggrolls . . . .

Hey Paul, I am a Draco nut so let me give you a free history lesson on that draco. See picture post 42, pic #3. Notice the cut off limbs on one side only? Know why they are missing? Photographers cut them off to get better shots of Marilyn Monroe. Your picture shows how it opened up the view.

That one was free. Any more tid-bits will cost you.
