Had a long ride today, route suggested by Heathpack, now going for a walk from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. Here is the public restroom at Venice.

LA has a bunch of scooters lying around all over the place (apparently you rent them), near USC there was one parked across the sidewalk and I was not yet scooter-aware and I tripped over the ****ing thing. No major injury but I got some road rash on my knee, about the size of a quarter. I have since become much more scooter-alert. People who park them irresponsibly should be fined.

Welp, we survived our first tropical storm with wind involved. The power was on about half the time but is out now. They're telling us we should expect heavy rain through the weekend. We were closer to the eye this time, and as such had stronger winds. At the eye it was steady at 65mph. We probably had 40mph with higher gusts.

This kind of confirms my point from earlier. Guy are generally going to be bearded or shaved depending upon the preference of the lady with whom we want to get close to.

Not shaving saves time every morning. Time that can be spent on more important activities, like drinking coffee.
