LA PALMS

There’s a whole lot of flora in LA. Stolen water made the desert bloom. This modest house in the modest Eagle Rock district is lush with vegetation.

Automobiles define LA in popular culture. And those ridiculous tall palms. Here they line busy E. Colorado Blvd. where we stayed.

It was a beautiful day at the track. My cousin, who sort of knows, says Santa Anita is the prettiest in the US except for Saratoga, and the Washingtonia Robustas were the stars.
