I average about 150 - 200 miles a day driving for my job. Generally, I love driving, but with the current state of my car (and yes, anyone reading this, I am still driving the same car that you remember. The same car that has been across the country 6 times, the same car I delivered pizzas in at UMASS, the same car that has all the infamous bumper stickers on it, THAT same car.), driving is far less enjoyable--the window works when it wants to, the clutch often sticks, the gears need a bit of working to shift at times, random lights are on and off on the dashboard--but today, driving was all the pleasure.
"Hey, how do I get into the mountains," I asked the woman walking into her nice two story house, from out of my window. "Oh, you just take the next road. Glendora Mountain Road and go left. It'll take you right into them." L.A. is one of the few metropoli (it's not metropolises right?) in the world, where within 15 minutes you can be outside of the city and into some of the most beautiful mountains in our country. Today, I forgot to pack my lunch, so I took a 30 minute detour to get away. I didn't come close to making a sale today, but I caught a glimpse of fresh snow.
