Relatives in California
I saw a picture of a hot dog with all the trimmings on it. The hot dog reminded me of the story my Uncle Perry from California tells of the greatest Spanish hot dogs in Logansport, Indiana. This is a bragging issue he loves to talk about it seems every time we talk on the phone. My mom and my Uncle have such great memories of Logansport, but as my mom pointed out they are totally different. He told me about being a lifeguard and meeting my Aunt Vera and letting her swim for hours in the lake. I have seen some pictures which my Uncle sent when he was younger. I compared him to a young James Cagney. He had that James Cagney look. When I talk with my Uncle, he usually talks with me on his speaker phone. I have a double conversation with my Uncle Perry and my Aunt Vera. My Uncle raises Yorkies. They are his close pets. He sells the puppies and gets a good price, because the Yorkies are pure bred. My Uncle and my mom both are strong Democrats. They share the Democratic ideas about the US economy and political views. My Uncle's son Franklin lives near his parents. He works as a security guard, so he is out working during the night. Franklin is a lot of fun when he comes to visit. Franklin likes to go see our Florida attractions. He likes Disney, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Universal and St. Augustine. I don't know if or when he would come back to Florida, but I am sure it will be a grand adventure.

Yes, hot dogs are great. One of my all-time favorite foods. A great summertime food with potato salad and iced tea. I prefer mustard, onions and relish on mine. On rare occassion I might have some chili on one. We have a hot dog shop on east Colonial called Hot Dog Heaven and their specialty is something called a Chicago-style dog which I have never had. Every lunch time there is a long line for the hot dogs. Mary broils the hot dogs in a toaster oven which is better than boiling in water. It makes them crispier. I can never eat enough hot dogs. I am literally a hot dog fanatic. You have touched on one of my favorite topics, hot dogs. As for your nepheew Franklin, he could move to Orlando and be a security guard at Disney and have the best of both worlds, that of security guard and that of being at Disney everyday. Take care, stay dry, and don't let those "raindrops keep falling on your head" like in the song. Lew

By the way, nice picture. Waves are like passing clouds, I could just watch them for hours. Fascinating. The speed of your camera is so fast that it catches details in the waves that I wouldn't probably notice watching them, like the droplets of water suspended in air or an arc of water droplets arched above the wave, and especially the jade green color of the breaking wave. Well done. Lew
