Augsburger

I miss meeting you.

Having lived in Southern California and experienced five major fires, fires where I can actually see the flames on the hillside I can tell you from first hand experience that brush clearing and fire breaks do help in minimizing the fire damage. I can only speak from first hand experience where I have seen the fires burn brush all the way up to the cleared areas and then stop. These observations and opinions are shared by some friends who are LA City and County fire fighters and fire Captains whose job it is to fight these fires. My opinions are based on first hand experience not information gleaned from the internet. There is no need to be rude to Jose or Rob.

Stay safe Jose and family.

Happy Birthday Ian!

Was the pizza dough store bought or home made? All the recipes I have tried so far turned out nothing like that, looks tasty!

Awesomeness!

Well my house is 1,000 feet above sea level so if I am screwed you all are probably drownded.

Lunch in Brescia. Best lasagna ever!

Lunch in Garda Lake, with a nice house Lombardy red. Followed by a long hike back to the car

Drive to Garda Lake again

Had lunch with truffles ...with wine. Coolest Grappa station ever

As we were leaving the Duomo a tour group passed us by and I noticed one of the group's name tag- Indigo Montoya. I was laughing my ass off for the next two hours. I guess you have to be into fencing to fully appreciate the humor

Happy Belated Birthday Antonio!

Happy Birthday!

Truely humongeous, and the details within from the stained glass to the carved marble were spectacular.
