Teddy Roosevelt slept there. So did Wyatt Earp, W.C. Fields, and Jesse James. It was a while back, but, they did. Not together, of course...they were all straight, as far as we know, as opposed to the news about Abe Lincoln....but, I digress. Banning was once a very famous stagecoach stop between the Arizona Territories and El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula, now known simply as Los Angeles because Anglos don't want to speak Spanish in America and think that Los Angeles is English!!! Evan, you should be happy to be there, or, perhaps you feel like W.C. may have when he pre-arranged his tombstone to eventually read, "I'd rather be in Philadelphia!!" Paula, 6 days and counting ---------- Original Message ---------- From: ELG440@xxxxxxx Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 11:13:33 EDT Subject: Ohio I don't know about the goodie part, but I sure feel old right now. I just finished a trial in San Diego, and am in the first week of a three week hearing in Banning. It means up at 4:00 each morning and then back home about 6:30 or 7:00 depending on traffic. I guess I could stay in beautiful Banning, but anyone who has been here, knows what that means. But, I can look forward to a week in Springfield, so maybe it is worth it. It has to be better than Banning. Evan L.
