Hot Days in LA

Wow!!! It is almost unbearable out here in the Southland. Even the beaches are scorching hot!!! And you can't get anywhere because there are constant collisions on the freeways, due to people getting overly aggressive in the heat.

It is miserable.

Yeah, I understand that there are places in the world that are hotter. The people who have to live in such hellholes certainly have my sympathy. However, in the US, the "Sun Belt" cities are built with the expectation of infernal Summer heat; Los Angeles is not. Therefore, when the temperatures climb towards the triple digits with high humidity, the infrastructure is not there to help us adapt to it.

It is miserable.

Another Day in LA

Lunchtime traffic on La Cienega

Not much to say tonight. It's been a long but satisfying day, going to LACMA and seeing a few art galleries at the Miracle Mile.

I've been working some exercise into my daily schedule, which is great in terms of health and weight management, but it definitely cuts into the free time that I allocate to writing this blog. My schedule needs to be retooled to accommodate these competing demands on my free time.

My plan for today was to put up a current gallery art exhibit review, but I'm too tired tonight to do a respectable job. Maybe tomorrow. . .

Tonight is for relaxing and recharging the batteries for an exciting weekend. ;-)
