Michele and I went to Los Angeles to play tourist over a very long weekend. We had originally planned to go to see my sister in Albuquerque and then go down to Big Bend TX but I was not over my nasty little cold so we canceled out. But I did get better and now we had a couple of weeks with a clear calendar so we decided to drive down the I-5 to Los Angeles for the March for Science and to see Michele’s cousin Maureen who is fighting pancreatic cancer.
By the time we got to the Grapevine, over the Tehachapi Mountains, the light had started to fade, so we drove into the Los Angeles Basin in the dark. We did get to the Silverlake area just in time for dinner, however. The next day, the Friday before the March for Science, we went to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour; levitating over an appreciating crowd.
Is “the” 15 what used to be I-5 or am I missing something here? [OK, I’m still caught up in that norcal-socal stuff; when I was growing up in socal even socal didn’t “the” the highways…].
Had it been we, we woulda gone to see Kerry James Marshall at MOCA but somehow weren’t able to swing it…
Science? Isn’t that some arrogant “fact”-based cult???
Ahh, my mistake. I knew I5 looked strange but didn’t know why. It is now “the I-5”. As for the “the” part, when I first heard it, it kind of annoyed me, but I am giving into the “the” zeitgeist”. I don’t know Kerry James Marshall but we will try to get there on your recommendation.
On the edges, science is sort of a cult, maybe the edges are big enough for it to be a religion.
