With the humid heat, emotions will, run hot this month. We should not avoid conflict however. Take situations as they arise on a solo basis, rather than attribute our personal bias or history. Address things as they come instead of worrying about their significant or insignificant meaning. Examine mood swings as they appear. Take nothing at face value or anything for granted now. We should shift our focus from fun and frivolity, and focus on the real things that matter to us. Whether it's work, money or love, whatever our greed, it should be attended to with great effort.

Edsel on Parade, 1957, by Charles Phoenix
I knowww, it's mesmerizing! That double-decker, deep-dish horse collar grill and all-around "Queen From Outer Space"-age styling is more than we mere Earthlings are hard-wired to comprehend.
We're lovin' the trio of beauty queen wannabees mistaking the back seat as a throne for three. Sit gently, please, those convertible top bows are brittle and breakable!
In 1957, the Ford Motor Company introduced their all-new and very ballyhooed Edsel, not as a new model, but as a whole new marquee, an entirely new line of cars...

Roaring Nightlife: Seeing the L.A. Zoo in a Different Light by Matt Share
Rediscovering the LA Zoo with other grownups is a rare treat! After all, the zoos are places where children go to see animals. Roaring Nights seamlessly converts the sun-drenched kettlecorn and plush souvenir safari into a fun, comfortable night habitat for adults, which still has kettle corn and gift shops. A friend I ran into at the event commented that she was genuinely surprised this was the same place.
Roaring Nights is essentially a party with exotic animals, and it drew a big enough crowd to feel lively and popular. The event is laid out like an archipelago, featuring centers of activity carefully scattered just out of sight of one another all across the sprawling campus. They seemed to pop up out of the darkness as I wandered between islands of art and food and music. The distributed layout created welcome quieter spaces to relax between the busy attractions. It was also a treat to walk around the LA Zoo's expansive asphalt paths without the usual midday heat. Attendees are a relatively even mix of all ages from recent high school grads to couples with grey hair, with a healthy population of attractive twenty-somethings...
