The Pines Cafe. We've been meaning to go there for years. It was once in the middle of nowhere, but Palmdale has sprawled out to meet it.
Not a broad menu, but they have some interesting omelets with zucchini in them and hand made burgers, and incredible thin-sliced fried potatoes that actually rival my mother's (which is saying something, friends.)
Outside The Pines. People who put together things like this warm my heart.
Very old, very worn tires at a real mess of a junk shop in Littlerock, CA.
The person who worked behind this cash register could probably not have imagined it would end up here.
Clever recycling of an old sign as a roofing panel for a shack in the junk yard. This area produces a lot of fresh produce.
I love the way the paint has aged on this.
Some one has been cleaning up around here. I don't really have a shot that shows just how much junk crowds this 3-acre junk yard. I don't think I can go back and get one. Things were so decayed it was like a trash heap with paths through it. It was kind of depressing to think of the man inside sitting by his barrel-shaped woodstove day after day, hoping to sell something.

Palmdale seems like a different planet, when it's only a skip away. I should check it out.
You should come up for a relaxed guided tour. We could do the Acton cemetery, look through the fence at the lions, try a diner, visit a junk shop, have a little hike at the Devil's Punchbowl. Seriously. Or if you want to wander on your own, I could give you some pointers. Otherwise you might end up seeing a Trader Joe's and a Famous Footwear.
...and you can have a tour of the feed stores. Hydra
The Pines has been one of my regular stops when visiting Edwards since I discovered it. Best breakfast in Palmdale, and some of the best pancakes and chicken-fried-steak I've ever had.
Back in the 80's I ate breakfast there as often as I could. They had a item on the menu called "Tell Larry to feed me". Man was that good food. I wonder if its still on the menu?
Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed your most recent post. I think you should post more often, you obviously have natural ability for blogging!
Hey Dennis- Sadly, the Pines is no more. Replaced by the Habanero, which we haven't tried yet.
Retro J- Thanks for the lovely comment! I moved the blog to Wordpress a while back, and then had some things get in my way, but am planning to catch up. www.anygivensundry.com
The manufacturing of all Bentley GT is done in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds where so many other products related to Swiss Breitling Windrider are produced. Bentley 6.75 history goes back to 1884, but the product most associated with the Bentley Motors is more properly classified as a wristwatch chronograph.
You can save a lot of manufacturing or those Coach Outlet which are even better as the Coach Gallery materials used for making these Coach Hamptons also get confused regarding which handbag they should buy for the discounted Coach Legacy varieties.
Although ED Hardy originally started his career as a low-key tattoo artist, hardy shirt is clear that he has something of a Midas touch, as his brand name continues to expand hardy shirts around the world. Naturally, you can only assume that even when Hardy himself is gone, his extremely popular products will continue to dominate the hardy shirts market and see a tremendous level of interest from consumers who are happy to utilize the creations of a man who has managed to come from nothing and make a name for himself among the stars.
