Groundhog Day Excitement!

It's been a long day waiting for him to come out but we finally have a sighting and an answer:

YES, Dave has seen his shadow!

After initially seeming a bit frightened and confused, he's calmed down and was last seen having a bagel and coffee.

Next is the newly-refurbished Palm Springs Plaza Theatre where we saw "A John Waters Christmas", a one man show by the director. I took the pic of the marquee on the way out of the show (no photos at the show) and went back this week to take pics of the theater. Also, Divine in The Graffiti Yard.

It's Christmas time in Palm Springs, and I've been up to a couple things.

First is one of the Cabazon Dinosaurs--the roadside attraction featured in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Janet took these early in 2025 when the t-rex was still in the Santa suit (might share the other pics at another time).

We got a new dog a few months ago from a local shelter. Skip is an Australian Shepherd mix, about three years old. We liked the name but it quickly became Scoob. Like the breed, he is athletic, playful, protective, smart, friendly, loves toys and the outdoors. Scoob is a good boy.

Graffiti Park Part 2 and behind the Palm Springs Art Museum. I post so infrequently that these are still from late last summer. (The one pic with the trail is to the right of the building with the heart statues. I thought I would be able to check it out but it is closed to the public.)

Graffiti Park in Palm Springs Part 1. This is part of my first visit to the little sandlot across the street from the art museum parking garage that is a specific legal place for graffiti artists. Who knows where these quotes are from? (Check the tongues in the middle of the 2nd pic for a clue.)

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is one of ten sovereign nations of the Cahuilla. The people have inhabited this area for 5,000 years. Their land stretches throughout Riverside County and includes Indian Canyons. These pics are just a couple of local pieces that recognize Agua Caliente.

Sonny Bono (Sonny & Cher, member of Congress) is a big deal in Palm Springs. Sonny was a resident and the 16th mayor of PS. He also created the Palm Springs International Film Festival. So there’s a statue of Sonny Bono downtown! (At least one more Sonny-related post coming in the future.)

The CA backyard! Palm trees, different cacti, ocotillo, rosemary, a lemon tree, and others. Hummingbirds, other small birds, two crows I call Chris and Rich have set up a nest in the neighbor's tree, and the occasional road runner. And a view of the San Jacinto Mountains.

RIP Huntleigh the dog

Huntleigh was kind, curious and intelligent. She was a mother to the cats and a gentle giant.

Huntleigh was my constant companion, a great listener, followed me everywhere, and was the best non-human friend I have ever had. We miss her.

Palm Springs and I love Lucy!
Lucille Ball was in Palm Springs in the '30s, eloped with Desi Arnaz there, continued to live there while Desi played local clubs. An episode of "I Love Lucy" was set in PS. The movie "The Long, Long Trailer" was filmed in PS. Lucy lived there thru the '60s.

So, is the opposite of "win" spelled "loose" now?

I feel like I everyone spells it that way now. I know, I know, language changes and if we understand, why does it matter? I don't know, it just bugs the heck out of me. "Lose" is four letters! How can you mess that up?

Next in the series of Dave's head in front of a building in Palm Springs: "Hotel California". (After the song, not vice versa.) I think this is still August or September.

The only Eagles I am a fan of are the ones from Philadelphia, but I had to check the place out. GO BIRDS!

I have been doing Palm Springs reports on FB and I need to post them here too!

The pics today are from back in the summer. This is the "Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway" aka "The House of Tomorrow". (Elvis house and Elvis house with big giant head.)

More touristing stuff on the way soon!
