From wikipedia: Norms Restaurants is a chain of diner-style restaurants in Southern California. The chain was founded in 1949 and its restaurants are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They advertise their hours with the line "We never close." There are currently 17 locations in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties.
The first Norms opened on La Cienega Boulevard in 1957 featuring a distinctive angular and brightly colored style that came to be known as Googie architecture.[1] Key characteristics include concrete walls, large glass windows, jutting roof, and a neon marquee.[1] The first Norms restaurant was designed by the firm of Armet & Davis.

It was a cold day by San Diego norms so this Bactrian camel (Mongo) selected a sunny spot to soak up the suns rays.
Camels were domesticated more than 3,000 years ago, and to this day, humans depend on them for transport across arid environments. They can easily carry an extra 200 pounds (90 kilograms) while walking 20 miles (32 kilometers) a day in the harsh desert. Camels can travel as fast as horses but can also endure legendary periods of time without food or water. Humans have used camels for their wool, milk, meat, leather, and even dung, which can be used for fuel.
The dromedary camel, also known as the Arabian camel, exists today only as a domesticated animal. About 90 percent of the world’s camels are dromedaries. There are two types of Bactrian camels: wild and domesticated. Wild Bactrian camels are much trimmer, with smaller humps and less hair, than domesticated Bactrian camels.
The dromedary camel has one hump and the Bactrian camel has two.
Camels have been represented continuously in San Diego Zoo Global’s collection since 1923, with the arrival of a Bactrian camel and two dromedary camels; the Bactrian camel came from a circus and the dromedary camels were obtained from a Hollywood movie set. Our Zoo’s founder, Dr. Harry Wegeforth, convinced the local Shriners to donate money to help pay for them. When the camels wrecked their pen by rubbing their loose winter fur off on the posts, the Shriners came through again to pay for a new enclosure.
In 1924, Shiek became the first camel born at the Zoo. He was so handsome and tractable that Hollywood movie studios rented him and some of our other camels for silent movies such as Ben-Hur in 1925, Beau Gest in 1926, and its 1939 motion picture remake starring Gary Cooper. The camels earned an actor’s fee, a sum that seemed like a fortune to the fledgling zoo. In 1942, Zoo camels were used in the movie The Road to Morocco.
This domestic Bactrian camel, Mongo, can be seen next to the Australian Outback along Center Street.
Bactrian camels are at critical risk, facing a decline in the wild as they are hunted for sport or killed because they compete with domestic camels and livestock for grazing and watering spots. They are also hunted for their meat. Their habitat is also being taken over by illegal mining operations. There are currently about 650 Bactrian camels in China and about 450 in Mongolia. The Wild Camel Protection Foundation was established in 1997 and has set up a natural reserve in China for wild Bactrian camels.

Just back from my last ride in my fifties (23 miles in light rain). Tomorrow I'll wake up in my sixties, with the same weather forecast, so probably more of the same (activity that is).
I recently started taking note of my mileage since I turned 59, and I'm at 9023 today with one more day to add to the count.
