Yesterday went hiking to Henniger Flats, that is one of my old hiking trails when I lived in Los Angeles. Henniger Flats is on the Mt Wilson Toll rd. Actually, no vehicular traffic allowed, except for fire trucks during fire season. This makes it a popular trail for hiking and Mt Biking. Air quality was terrible, on the right, above in the haze, Downton LA should have been visible. Mt Wilson Toll Rd is actually famous, want to know more CLICK HERE.

Below is a video of Cassandra Banda (daughter of Elsbeth), she will be 15 yrs old in two days. It is the reading of a poem that Cassandra wrote. She presented it at the Shalom dinner that her freshman class prepared for their parents, on May 20, 2009.

Her school also published it on the year book, and surprised Cassandra. Unfortunately, the sound is muddled. I spent about 15 hours trying to clear it up. But I failed, fixing sound on videos is very, very difficult.

On Aug 10th, went to check out the 2009 Senior Games. Specifically, the bicycle time trials. It was inspirational to watch, see on the right. Individuals, Some in their 70s and older bicycling as fast as they can. Some with very fancy and expensive bikes, some with just your average bikes. Goes to show, that you can always be athlete.
