Gray cat (Willie) lying in the sun, sort of. Good floof showing. Back door, purple slippers visible behind him.

Willie: "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls."

Willie embraces today's celebration of #Caturday and honors all the #CatsOfBlueSky with unapt movie quotes. 🐈‍⬛ Happy day!

The Peace. Perfect. And beautiful.

Tujunga was the last big holdout to join LA in 1932.

On April 11 (1 pm) at its Bolton Hall, I'll share some of the crazier annexation war-stories between LA and towns like Venice, Sawtelle (which LA took by force), and Barnes City (which had circus monkeys on its voting rolls).

That is pretty!
