Palm Desert - Ladies Who Lunch

Here in Palm Desert for another two weeks or more and here on the blog for the first time in a long time without a photo project to pass on to you.

So, for lack of a story, here is a bit of Palm Desert, where, as you see, the stereotype of a Palm Springsian sort of glitz is alive and well.  Ladies lunch here and they lunch in a style reminiscent of belles through out time.

On the other side of the glass door above I am also lunching - alas hatless and sans strappy little sun dress - with my mate, grabbing my camera while remembering that I once told the dentist who was performing a root canal on a tooth of mine that I would rather be doing just that than be lunching with ladies.  

The proximity of this post and the one below is not particularly intentional but it does represent the two economic extremes here in the Coachella Valley.  On a map these extremes would appear about as close as the two posts here - two worlds apart and, generally speaking, neither can imagine the other.
