Going to the Dogs -- Bow Wow Wag

LAST CHANCE! The LA County Fair wraps up this weekend. When the fair opened on Labor Day weekend we mentioned there was a new exhibit this year called "Luminasia" that we thought would be a good bet. We finally made it there this past week and we were RIGHT! If you haven't been to the fair yet this attraction is absolutely worth it.

9th Annual Wag N Walk in Ventura is a 3 mile walk for you and your dog.

Chris' & Pitt's at Dusk, Bellflower by Charles Phoenix

There's something interesting around every corner, no matter where u go.

And the corner of Bellflower and Artesia Blvds, is no exception. For it is there that, snuggled in the vast sea of suburbia, sits one of SoCal's most precious places. Chris' & Pitt's BBQ. This Bellflower beauty isn't just any old BBQ joint, oh NO! 'Tis the greatest streamline, modern faux log cabin BBQ diner joint on the planet.

The next few weeks will see most signs reviewing their goals and making shifts to their plans. This can be an illuminating period of insight, fortitude and faith. While Air and Earth signs will do best staying in, Water and Fire should be going out and about town. There's an uptick in energy for meeting new acquaintances and potential romantic partners in random, unexpected ways. The need to share our time and energy with others can reconnect old friendships or old flames. We should make an effort to go to fun events with a good pal. Two is one better so play better.
