There is a large and I mean LARGE flying insect out here in Burbank that looks like a scarab beetle. LA peeps -- ####### is this thing?

Is this what you are seeing flying around?

June Bug

I hate those things. Hate them hate them hate them. Just looking at the picture on wiki gives me the willies.

they are harmless, unless you hit one while riding a motorcycle

Ewww...I imagine they make quite a mess. For some reason they love my hair and Ive had a few occasions where they have flown into my hair and got stuck. I'm still in therapy :-p

not that they make a mess, they hurt at 70 mph on a motorcycle

I discovered the allure of Big Lots when I was in CT. Bruce (being perhaps the world's greatest skinflint) went gaga; I may have even detected a small string of drool dropping from his lips when I took him to the DIY section. I visited the North Hollywood Big Lots on Monday which is a little on the small side, but warrants further investigation.

Did someone say luau?

The Big Lots in Venice was amazing - but now it closed to make way for a Whole Foods.

Times are changing in the neighborhood.

A GIANT WF, I might add (we cycled thru it Sunday).

There's still one over on Sawtelle/Jefferson...

You don't know Bay Cities in Santa Monica? I love Bay Cities! It's next to Swingers - you can get all manner of posh foodstuffs (mostly Italian) at a pretty decent price and they have a pretty great deli (like if I lived next door, I would never cook dinner). GREAT cheese and wine selection. Lots of nice coffees. Every manner of truffle oil. You must stop by there one day - though pretty busy on the weekends.

I think about moving back to England every single day.

Yay!! Welcome back Maven - we missed you too!!!

I feel totally out of things in the middle of the desert - maybe I am the only one insane enough to live here?! As for central air - I am kinda fed up with our whole apartment sounding like it is about to take off Ohhh for a peaceful night's sleep!!! I swear there must be better systems than what we have but as it is our electricity bill is looking to prevent us from ever having a mortgage or children or even for me to visit the UK ever ever again. It really sucks and it is all so alien to me that I don't know what to do about it

Your not the only one out in the desert! I've been in Tucson, AZ for just over a year now and I really like it out here. I love the dry heat and the monsoons in the afternoon
