Busy month! Time seems to accelerate when you move to Los Angeles, anybody else notice that?
Two big announcements that haven’t made it up here yet: Is the suspense killing you?
Highway Musings March 31, 2009
Every time I drive the ramp that connects the 134 East to the 2 North, I take my life in my hands. It’s not that my speed is unsafe as I race up and around the gentle arc. It’s not that the drivers around me are unpredictable as we curve north towards the hills. It’s that as I take the ramp upwards, I pass over and spiral around the homes and businesses of Glendale. Green hills rise on three sides of me with little red houses like berries on bushes. A mysterious white building with a winged roof glints in the sun and before I know it I’m trying to counts the sides of its roof and stare at the valley spread out behind me and gaze into the approaching community, crouched on the knees of the mountains. And I’m going 60 miles an hour through the air on an overpass built with the grace of a Disney ride.
It’s a little distracting.
