Summer Dawn and Summer Dusk
Today is the 7th of july. It is friday as well. The sun is expected to set @ 8:05 pm. The surf is small, but the water is warm @ 72 degrees. The air temperature is a sultry 95 degrees farenheit but with low humidity. Nevertheless my joints still ache and the tremendous heat is causing the rubber on my tire to wear around the nail that has long made it's home. It must be two months since that nail's been in there occasionally needing filling. Maybe it's time for a new tire. i hear that tires should be bought in pairs. If that's the case, i guess it's time for two new tires.
i admit, with a slight air of arrogance, that i know nothing about cars. i do know they are a cancer in california. There are simply too many and they are multiplying. Many are big, dangerous and generally ugly. If the freeways are the arteries and veins of california, cars are certainly the plaque. But it is not all bad. They offer the 'freedom' of movement from the mountains to the sea with relative ease (relative being the fundamental term). @ 5.00 in the morning the ride to the beach is surreal with a lite fog transcending through the canyons and over the hills and @ 85 mph the journey is effortless and the ride a joy. @ 9.00am the ride is a hellish nightmare with trucks and jersey drivers (yes, they're even on the west coast) backed up for endless stretches, wrapping and raping the awesome landscape that brought them here.
i have learned that the only way to travel is early, or late. In fact, the only way to live is to adopt an off-schedule and not to be a part but be apart from the rest of the world. Work through midnight. Get up @ the crack of dawn. That's the key to survival in this overcrowded state. This is also the key to sanity. Some say it is people that make us sane but that is only because the definition of sanity depends on the majority voting on what is sane and insane to begin with. Early morning and late nights require no jury and can offer legitamite peace of mind.
Don't be like the rest of the world.
