a few weeks ago we went to the "adams avenue roots music fest" in normal heights(san diego),

a festival devoted to all types of american music from blues to zydeco(ok,i skipped the "A").

my pal adam(coincidental) lives in that neighborhood & he's an avid gardener & budding

palmophile.

here are adam & jes loading the "pleasure chest" with adult beverages.

adam & his wife "kathy" are into the tiki culture & he made the tiki on the wall.

his neighbors just cut down some trees in the canyon behind his house & it really opened

up his view to the east.

adam likes old cars & motorcycles but he's really getting into tropicals & palms lately.
