Clouds over La Crescenta
 Did I stand in the middle of the Mighty 2 freeway to take this picture? Yes I did. Was I hit by a car? Yes I was. Did the car bounce off me like birdseed, leaving me unmarked? Undoubtedly. Were all the other cars stopped because there was some kind of virus? Yeah, probably. Also, there's some ghosts.Labels: los angeles, photos
Nature loves Her little surprises
 Not to take anything away from Joe Walsh, founder of the James Gang, replacement guitarist in the Eagles, solo act, road warrior, Cleveland booster, but I was still surprised to see someone with a Joe Walsh bumper sticker.
I called my friend Brian, the only person other than you who would've cared.
"Who has a Joe Walsh bumper sticker?" I asked, noting that there was no "Hotel California" or "Ordinary Average Guy" iconography (though the driver also had Twinkies and Devo stickers).
"Maybe it's Joe Walsh," he said.
Joe Walsh doesn't seeem to be a sticker-inspiring person, despite his talent and many contributions, such as "Funk #49". I would be just as surprised to see a Bryan Ferry, Blossom Dearie, Sarah Brightman, John Entwistle, or Duff McKagan bumper sticker.
The Sentra turned on Silverlake Blvd. and was gone. I probably spooked him. No doubt he locked the doors in case of attack.

 I went back to Lowell, where I was born and lived the first 17 years of my life (I'm 19 now) for about :30 this past weekend.
I haven't spent any time visiting the city's historic areas since I was a National Park Ranger there, so on my way to my Uncle Frank's birthday party I took a self-guided tour, not hitting nearly as many places as I would have liked (or visiting with anyone not related to me).
These are the Pawtucket Falls on the Merrimack River. It's nice to see a river with water in it now and then.
