...as they get ready for the parade only a few days away now ...I'm here watching them decorate ..tourists are starting to arrive ...sun is shining ...hopefully it will be on january 1 as well ..so everything should be good for out-of-towners ..don't mind some of the gruff cops ..some of them think that if they are too friendly the people will never go back home ...I've been here 11 years now and they still think I'm from out-of-town ...that's just pasadena being pasadena..don't mind them ..enjoy the sun & flowers and the rest of southern cal too ..
