don't get any on you

Here are some shots of the house I rented in Los Angeles. The back and one side yard are mostly sand. If it doesn't get watered out here, it doesn't grow. There's a sprinkler system for the rest. We've got an olive, apple and lime tree (the lime goes good with Tecate), plus a few 50 foot plam trees. Our landlord, Luis, has acting credits in CSI Miami, Crossing Jordan and the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, among other roles. Its a decent area on the north-west corner of Burbank and the eastern edge of the Valley. Smog vs. beaches, pretty girls vs. nutty people, culture vs. crowding. I like it here.
The house is built a little funny-like. The kitchen floor slopes a bit toward the front of the house. I don't know if its earthquake damage. My bedroom is off the kitchen and the door hangs a bit in the opposite direction of the kitchen floor so it makes you feel a bit drunk. That and all the beer.
