That sign read "Creepville", all the fruit was picked by workers in the UFW, which the growers and Teamsters were trying to destroy, and instead of powdered sugar and laptops we had dirt and yellow legal tablets. <br /><br />Great pics.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-32248342439261192822010-11-07T20:29:31.791-08:002010-11-07T20:29:31.791-08:00Man, that guy's good.

There were colored lights playing on the surf and music coming out of the lamp posts.<br /><br />We vacationed in France and Switzerland quite often in the 70's and 80's and often ate crepes. In Britanny they have a savory crepe called a galette. <br /><br />And my best memory of crepes is eating them in a small creperie in a Swiss ski resort, after skiing all day, Ravel's Bolero playing as background music in the restaurant, and looking out of the window to glimpse a distant view of the Matterhorn 25 miles away.<br /><br />I don't think any of those places had a magic pan.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-58051076106997654732010-11-04T11:47:40.843-07:002010-11-04T11:47:40.843-07:00PPS - that was mid-1970's, the absolute heyday...PPS - that was mid-1970's, the absolute heyday of the Magic Pan.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-21945872839014072802010-11-04T11:40:28.801-07:002010-11-04T11:40:28.801-07:00I would believe both of those!
