In the process of doing some genealogical research, I learned some semi-interesting things. Yay Wikipedia!

1. Lynwood, a city in south Los Angeles county, is not a "wood" like a tree-filled area. It is named after someone actually named Lynn Wood.
   
2. Maywood is really proud of the fact that it's supposedly the first American city to outsource all of its city services. Sounds more like something you should be really ashamed of to me, Maywood!
   

King Wimp

I've been cleaning out my purse again and found a receipt on which I scrawled "to have and have not Rex Wimpy." After some quick googling, I now know that Rex Wimpy did the special effects cinematography for many films including one of my favorites, To Have and Have Not, with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (I believe that's the film on which they first met). Anyways, what a silly name, Rex (King) Wimpy!
