Haven't tried the "journal" function of Buzznet yet and  why not today.  Went to meet Christian and Sonia in  Malibu today. Christian has a magic gift: when he shows up anywhere, suddenly it starts raining and people start speaking French. The waitress at the Malibu Inn switched to French when he showed up, other diners turned out to be French and Austrian bikers, and it rained intermittently. Then we went to chase pelicans on the beach.

End of test-entry!
