Spent 2 days in L.A. – more specifically driving 302 miles {according to Hertz} up and down I-405 in traffic. This was a business trip and I expected to make visits to 2 companies and have extra time so I got a hotel in Laguna Beach near a State Park with lots of hiking opportunities. Within an hour of landing we got a new business opportunity in west LA. Excellent news (thus the kharma) but it filled my schedule and it rained the whole time I was there.
Too busy to do anything but go out and get food after dark. The only photos I took are of Santa’s missing reindolphins (a moment of silence please for Laguna Beach’s misguided and underprivileged kids) and the waves breaking at night – does not work without a tripod, patience and maybe a better camera.
See, not all posts are good. Grade them on a curve. This one anchors the left side.


For those of us who are landlubbers, and can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been to the ocean, this is a culture shock. Which makes this an interesting post! (I’m won’t claim the ability to assess quality.)
