Is this a picture from the opening montage of the Rockford Files? Probably not but sure looks similar.
W Car southbound on Figueroa
Ok, this original Flickr post said that this is at 12th and Figueroa. This is looking south from today’s Staples Center. I believe part of the Ford dealership on the right is still there and that’s about it.
Biloxi
Just listening to Jimmy Buffett’s Biloxi and flashed back to the devastation that Katrina did to the Gulf Coast. It is hard to believe what happened that day….
Still Running Strong
Kopi with his 100th career goal and the Kings beat the Blue Jackets. They are in 6th place. What has happened to the time?
Another Holiday
How did this happen? A month has gone by?
Well, it’s been a good month so far for the Kings. They spent some time as the best team in the west and are resting comfortable in fourth place in the conference.
Annette and I went to Vancouver to visit with Aunt Hazel and Uncle Bill. They were both gracious and we went to a Canucks game v the Kings while we were there. Snow was flying but the Kings lost.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is upon us. While I have many things to be unthankful for, I want to be thankful for the head over my head, food in my stomach, and books to read. I’m thankful for friends, the good parts of my families, and hockey.
Happy Thanksgiving.
So Far, So Good
After tonight’s win, the Kings have 26 points in 21 games. That is on a pace to score 100 points for the season. If they continue this way, we could be playoff bound.
Vancouver and Vancouver
After last night’s slightly disappointing 2-1 OTL to San Jose, the Kings take on the Canucks here in LA. It is Canadian Night, also, which basically means some Canadian stuff and a concert after the game from the Tragically Hip. If the Kings win tonight, they tie for the best October point total in franchise history.
The other story of the day is that I bought Canucks-Kings tickets for Vancouver when I’m up there visiting my Aunt. Wifey, Aunt, Uncle, and Sister will all be going, too. Upper deck seats in Vancouver = Lower Bowl seats in LA. Yikes. Canucks are like the Lakers here without the 15 championships.
As A Kings Fan…
…nothing is better than watching Hazy cry about a Ducks 6-2 loss to the previously winless Toronto Maple Leafs. Tivo’ed the game and fast forwarded to all the good spots. Of course, reffing, which was tilted, was to blame.
…and nothing is better than a Kings win on Sunday over the Blue Jackets. Let’s see how Wednesday and Thursday go.
