The friends said thank you for the information and hiked back on to the path towards Chinatown.
“Didn’t we just see this woman like 20 minutes ago?” Nathan pointed to the woman who was walking her dog and heading towards them.
“Yeah, I think so. How did she come back around like that?” Sarin wondered

There’s nothing horrifying behind this entry except that it doesn’t know where it’s going, and it rarely knows where it has been. But it will identify that it has been somewhere. Was it meaningful?

Illegal dumpings plagues some Los Angeles neighborhoods

State O’ The Blog
Yesterday my bloggy partner and I did something wholly unexpected. Instead of networking with each other over coffee, mochas, cafe au laits, cupcakes, cookies, hookah, wine, alcohol or some other treat at some restaurant, bar or cafe, we met up at my place in the nether northern reaches of LA-land to discuss the state of our blog over tea.

Non Sequitur O’ The Day
While shopping in the suburbs of LA, a herd of bicycles zipped by on the main street, breaking up traffic, tripping up cars, existing totally at random.
I love LA <3!

Tree thoughts…
Over the weekend, I went out of town to Big Sur. I’ve been waiting for a month to leave the noisy concrete jungle of LA and soak in some greenery. To be still with the trees.
Big Sur is amazing: with its beaches and redwood groves it reminded me that there is so much more to the state […]
