Interesting you would say that, my brother's in-laws bought an historic Baptist church in ole-town Orange and converted it into a restaurant.

"PJ" are the initials of my brother's mother-in-law. Or my sister-in-law's mother, either way you look at it. They bought it, fixed it up, and got it running and my sister in-law's younger brother was managing it.

But that was many years ago.
I don't know if they still own it or not, I'll see em at Christmas and ask iffn I remember.
She had a little flower/coffee shop down the street there too.
EDIT: they also own Meads green door café, a vegetarian place on Chapman.

It's not that profound. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

Do this and you'll cheer up after a few days or maybe a week:

Have to get this made into a poster.

What's funny is, I've shown it to the guys in the firehouse, and the most of the younger guys were like " oh ok that's pretty cool" ( after I explained it to them...). The older guys caught it immediately and seemed to be a little more moved by it.

I like Bart Simpson and all but I guess it doesn't "move me" in any particular way

If that moves you then you need to get out more. Gas is under two bucks a gallon, what more motivation do you need? Push the keyboard in and go drive!

Okay, please explain it to me... at first I thought this was from a Sci-Fi novel... now I notice the guy is wearing a Charlie brown shirt... can someone tell me the origin of the drawing?

Thanks
