Bina and Sakae went out to the Santa Monica Pier and took this picture.  They made it into a birthday card and e mailed it to me this morning.  I like the idea of shining like the Santa Monica Pier, however cheesy it may sound. The pier at night is one of my favorite images of Santa Monica.  I rode on this Ferris Wheel with Sakae when he was a little. I remember the view of the city from the top.  I want to ride on it again soon. Maybe before we leave this city.

Sakae and Bina also took me out to a nice birthday breakfast at the Farm Shop up the street. I got to pick the place. After breakfast,  I drove them to LAX and we said goodbye.   Sakai and i will go up to see them in Portland for graduation.  

We are still looking for a rental.  We are still moving rocks, stones, and more. I help unload about fifty stones today. The thought of having to move them again from the rented parking lot in Frogtown is mind boggling but I am not going to think about it right now.    

I got 50 lbs of soba four from Anson Mills today!  It made me happy.   I made soba and yakitori for my birthday.
