things i heard this weekend.

from the six new rainbird rotor heads in my front yard. "shhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhh" (that's the water)

(hours earlier) from the work group digging trenches for my sprinklers... "ummm, i think we hit the main water line."

from my pilot friend brian to my dad, on the descent into catalina island. "no matter what it looks like, i do know what i'm doing."

from myself as the right wing dips and the sunlit ocean reveals itself against the cliffs below us. "mmmm."

from the burbank air controller as the sun sets behind us. "five niner victor granting request to proceed to west side of hollywood sign with one right turn and directly back to van nuys. over"

from my mom as we strategically plant agave next to fountain grass. "the neighborhood seems much quieter than it was five years ago."

seconds later. "vrooooooooooooooooovrooooooooovroooooo
ooooooooovroommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." my dad calls them urban motorskateboards.
