Oh, rats!

What a letdown. The rain consisted of 34,873 drops. That was it. And the forecast for today is partly cloudy. No help there.

We decided to watch something light last night, so we played the movie, Ratatouille, by Pixar/Disney. Good show! Of course it was the CGI that fascinated me the most. It seems to get better each year. (Duh!) And for some reason, the whole exercise of watching a cartoon brought back memories of Saturday afternoon matinees. We would walk a mile downtown to the La Mar theatre and pay our 25 cents for an entire afternoon of cartoons and serials. And when the matinee was over, we had a long and creepy walk home in the dark and the fog. What was that noise? There were plenty of other theatres to go to in the area, but they were further away and required a driver, (dad) to take us and to pick us up later. The Strand, in Redondo, was a favorite. It seemed like it was a much classier place to watch a cartoon! While the Redondo theatre was definitely low class and avoided most of the time.
