I know I just posted last night but had to share a tale of commuting in LA. This morning as I drove toward my clinic (which is close to an hour away with the traffic), it was the usual drive including the usual mean LA drivers UNTILL I got onto the freeway. I had not gone a mile when the entire westbound traffic slowed to a near halt "great, I will be late this morning" I thought to myself. I knew it was a bad sign when I saw a helicopter hovering over the freeway just ahead of me. Then all the cars merged to the left two lanes and as I got to what I assumed would be a car accident and saw something that I have only seen on TV. In the lane to the right of me as I passed by were 4 cop cars with lights on, a civillian car, several police with guns drawn, two men laying face down on the pavement, and one man standing with his hands up. The police were using a megaphone and dirrecting the 3 men what to do... very surreal. Wow, only in LA! Fortunately the traffic sped back up and I arrived on time to the clinic.
Anyway, that was it. Just thought I'd give you all a taste of urban life. :)
