There's a wide spot in the sidewalk through a park nearby that turns into a spontanious roller rink with costumes and boom boxes and 70's disco music.

Sometimes it's a family event with kids and very wholesome. SOMETIMES it's this grizzled, frightening mixed group of semi homeless feral people who all take turns dancing with this tall grey and white haired lady who looks like a Disney witch, and I'm pretty sure there is some kind of after party hobo-orgy that takes place in the bushes. You can see it in their eyes

I think it's been going on for like decades

I hear they call that a "soup kitchen"

Where are there good Thai food places in So-Cal?

There is a hole in the wall that has been around forever called Anajack on Ventura and like Cendros in Sherman Oaks that is the best drat Thai I have ever eaten. Can't miss if you're in the valley.

Last time I was there they had downsized their menu from like 6 pages to 2 so I'm worried that they might be having money issues. :(

it's not the earthquake that gets you, it's the flooding, landslide or out of control wildfire.



I like the story on how clever californians imported the Eucalyptus trees from Australia and apparently they burn real good in a wildfire.

Eucalyptus trees are also great for:

-smelling like cough drops, all the time
-acorns designed specifically to be underfoot
-big wet strips of bark that fall off and glue permanently to your car year round 24/7 until your car looks like it was poorly constructed of paper mâché

Yeah the oil is highly flammable and also the dried fallen leaves can't be easily digested by fungus/bacteria.

There's a homeless guy who always stands at the entrance to the 805 near my house who's dressed fairly nice and always points and smiles while (I'm guessing) saying nice things about my bike but I can't understand a word out of his mouth. I usually give him a buck since he's a cheerful fellow.

save time and start handing him tall cans of the cheapest alcohol you can find.
