Sorry this post is late. Due to very bad hosting from my hosting platform, the Devil has been in Hell for over 12 hours…

Los Angeles traffic.

I think that is why the great state of California was the first state in America to legalize marijuana and THC gummies.

You really can lose your mind.

Saturday Night Live nailed the driving thought process with The Californians recurring skit. You cannot leave home without googling all route options and then inset the little streets known only to locals that never show up on Waze.

Wednesday night we headed for sushi in West Los Angeles. It is 9.1 miles from our home. Once on the 10 Freeway it took 23 minutes to go one mile. Driving a stick shift in stop and barely go traffic adds to the annoyance. It took 40 minutes to arrive at our destination.

Last week I had an appointment in West Hollywood. After circling in several locations I found a metered spot which would not accept a credit card. This was my third attempt to use a card at a city meter. I had previously tried in Brentwood and Beverly Hills. This time there was no store to break a $1 for quarters for the meter so again I had to appeal to the Parking Gods and repeat playing the circle game.

I think the best solution is to walk everywhere which is challenging because LA is a big city and public transportation sucks.

My world just became a lot smaller…the only desirable driving hours in the City of Cruel Driving Angels is between midnight and 6am…I guess These Brooks Were Made For Walking.
