SWARTHOS

Fall is upon us and I am glad for that. With cooler temperatures inbound we also have the Harvest festivals. I can’t remember if I’ve ever been to an actual Harvest festival nor am I even clear on what one would be like. I do know that I enjoy walking around outside this time of year in the crisp cool air. Even a late Santa Ana wind event during this season feels ok.

One of the things I enjoy this time of year is being able to purchase Dia De Los Muertos scratchers at my local Kmart. The fact that they are only $1 American dollar and have a variety of beautifully rendered pictures on them make me feel happy and adventurous.

Yes they are colorful and fun. I haven’t yet scratched them, I just want to enjoy looking at them in a pristine form for awhile. While I am not Hispanic I must say that I do appreciate the cultural infusion we have here in the city of Angels.  Life would be a bit boring were it not for the melting pot we have here in the USA.
