Last day of the Month! What does that mean? Pay Day. Been able to bring my dog to work the last couple of days. Trying to beat the heat as the begining part of the week was 113 degrees! Laying low and enjoying the transition into October which brings comfort as it will be my birthday soon. I've been reading bits and pieces of "The Rise of the City" about how Americans have evolved. Especially, white Americans like the scores of German Russians who populated the States in the 1890's from being essentially exiled off of native land. The white Americans and others today are a conglomerate of individuals who left native lands to start a new. At the expense of the natives already here a struggle occured and one that was an unfair fight with our use of guns. I believe today a fear is still felt between white Americans and those of native North American descent. However, having a black President such as Obama should signify that things are changing. Regardless, anyone interested in how our country developed, mainly within the city, should read this book. Any struggle should be met with optimism and positivity as negativity only diverts to digression.

Summer has past. A Michigan trip for family camping, relatives wedding and otherwise relatively uneventfulsummer. Which is actually a blessing compared to what I had going on. A new place & new neighborhood has welcomed me in the month of June. Loving the solitude unobstructed of otherwise immaturity of grown adults who surrounded me of the later months of 2009. So, that said, I quite enjoyed the summer and company of new friends!

Went to Arshile Gorky exhibit, the premier Armenian painter of his time. First learned of his work in 2001. Can't wait to see the exhibited works of the late Dennis Hopper just before it closes this month. Thrilled to find that Seattle embrassed a media exhibit of Andy Warhol which closes in a couple days.

Hot in LA of nearly 90 degrees today.
Not much else to report in way of news around the world with my current lack of connectivity.
