July 4th In Malibu

Another Fourth of July has come and gone.

I spent the evening/night hours at work in Malibu. I expected the locals in the gated communities to be going completly crazy (from what I was told about past years). Didn't happen.

For the most part, the residents were well-behaved. There was some drinking going on, but there were no incidents in the communities that could be described as major. The girls in the communities were out and about in their bikinis. It is starting to seem that "California Girls" by Katy Perry (below) is becoming an anthem in Malibu.



I did have to eject a pretty bikni-clad lass out of one men's sauna rooms. But that was it.

When night fell, the fireworks displays could be seen originating from 2-3 directions. In the back of my mind, I was concerned that some idiot would set the hills above Malibu afire. Fortunately, no one did.

Traffic wasn't bad. It seemed it was at a typical weekend beach level. Memorial Day weekend was a zoo.

I also spent some time visiting a lady friend at her residence in Zuma Beach. She has a spectacular view of the ocean and beach from her living room window and sliding doors.

Bikinis and fireworks. Who can complain?
