Driving, though the heavy traffic is a pain, was bearable, just for the same things you mentioned (and which I miss so much I gave up driving where I am now because they are nuts: straddle lane lines, honk the miniscule fraction of a second after the light changes--if not before, never observe the safety distance on the highways and freeways, and the city seems to change the direction of one-way streets every three days), though I do have to confess that there is some road rage happenin' in L.A. that you didn't see, maybe because it's more subtle: the eyes on the road, grim-lipped not seeing the other driver trying to pull a fast one, skipping along the emergency lane of the freeway, and now urging to edge in right in front of one. There even have been some shootings. However, rose-colored glasses aside, all in all, drivers are pretty respectful of each other. It's part of the "live and let live" underyling philosophy that I like so much about the place.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories!Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2114468803513998172.post-87677621255072651722010-09-18T00:05:36.748-04:002010-09-18T00:05:36.748-04:00Very entertaining post.So true.
