When Veronica ...

For some reason, this brings back memories of that lovely ol' 50s smash, "When Veronica Plays the Harmonica Down on the Pier at Santa Monica" (I have that one filed in my mind somewhere near "The Lady from Twenty-Nine Palms").

Thanks, John.

Update: And here it is (link)! You gotta love:
The seals and haddock get aquabatic
When she plays on her chromatic
Wonder if the lady from Twenty-Nine Palms is any kin to this woman.

Nevermind the situps and pushups.

I was in Santa Monica a bit less than two years ago. At five, the park along Ocean Avenue overlooking the beach filled to the scuppers with homeless people pitching tents, sleeping in sleeping bags, playing music, living their lives.

I guess if there are so many homeless people you can't do anything to help them, you try not to appear useless by arresting people in shorts for doing knee squats.

Crankily yours,
