Los Angeles Without A Car – Update

Rapid Bus 720 to the beach

Rapid Bus 720 to the beach

Yesterday, I had to get to an appointment in Beverly Hills, which is over the hill and far away from where I live, and also not terribly convenient via public transport – meaning in my case, at least, that there is no direct line there, there’s a transfer or two involved.

But never mind – I do take the Rapid 720 bus down Wilshire, and generally I find that it is pretty rapid, at least, when I’ve needed it to be. After my appointment was over, I decided – on the spur of the moment – to take the bus west all the way to the end, which in this case is the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. (We were/are having Santa Anas, which means the weather is hot and windy and full of fire danger – but it’s also quite pleasant if you like hot, dry weather, which I do).

So I loved being able to go to the beach on what was really a whim, and not have to worry about driving myself in traffic or about (my most hated thing) trying to find a place to park and paying exorbitant parking lot rates at the beach. (I saw one sign, it was a $12 fee. . .)

I got there stress-free and read my book on the way. I didn’t go in the water; it was about 5 p.m. when I arrived so I just walked down the strand and watched the gymnasts and yogis for a while. (see photos – not mine, but this is where I was, you get the idea)

MYTH: THE POPPING cheap viagra from uk I HEAR IS MY BONES CRACKING. If you really want a beautiful, young wife who will love you forever, head for cialis tadalafil canada Probolinggo, Indonesia and turn your fantasy into reality! Low admiration or the admiration to accept sex.
And yes, there was lots of eye candy there, though not as crowded as these pictures might suggest. I stayed down on the strand until it got dark, then had a small dinner in downtown Santa Monica before heading back home on the bus.

I can’t say that the return trip on the Rapid 720 was quick. There was a lot of Friday night traffic — I still have to remember to stay later than 8 p.m. to probably have the best chance of open streets.

To complete my journey I take the Red Line subway from Koreatown back to its end at the North Hollywood Station, where a crew was filming a scene for NCIS. Right – so we emerged from the subway to spotlights and extras. Just a very typical day in L.A., sunset at the beach and TV production — never a dull moment. Still grateful after all these years to all this place home, and can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever been bored for a single moment!

I also love that my total cost for this entire day of travel was $5. No gas, no parking, no driving. Love that!

Goodbye, Dorothy Provine

I was saddened to read that Dorothy Provine passed away (April 25, 2010). Even though she retired from showbiz after her marriage to director Robert Day in the late 1960s, she was memorable in some great films of the era, including “The Great Race” and “Never a Dull Moment.” However, I will always remember her fondly as the less-than-enthusiastic screen wife of Milton Berle in the classic 60s comedy “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” It would be hard for me to underestimate the influence that movie had on me at the time.

I was obsessed.
