An AUSPICIOUS Move
In Rancho Palos Verdes...all went auspiciously well.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the name...one of those word combos that must sound OK in Chinese and makes no sense in English. :) Also, they probably needed a name that started with 'A', so why not a dignified Chinese word like "auspicious".

Very interesting :)
I guess I'm going to have to look up the word "auspicious" I thought I knew what it meant but in this context it makes no sense.

A very good omen, indeed.
Guess it just lost a little in the translation!!!
A great name!
