Me, Exhuasted, On The Baxter Steps

The three steepest roads in California are all in Los Angeles. Here's me, falling apart physically after attempting to walk up a hill.

Here's what's missing from these pictures: the sound of honking cars. A lot of the cars driving by were honking their horns in support.

Echo Park: Sleeping Bird & Chilling Squirrel

Right in the middle of Los Angeles, I'm renting a place surrounded by trees. This little squirrel guy sees me typing away every day and has apparently decided I'm relatively harmless. He sits on that branch and chills. He looks a little nervous in this shot because I've never pulled out a camera before. Usually he just lounges like he's falling asleep. (The pic looks blurry because I was standing right up against the mesh of a screen door.)

He went away after I took the picture. I made some food, wrote some code, did some blogging, and then uploaded the pic and wrote this. Just now he came back and he's chilling on the branch again.





One morning I got up early, which I usually don't do, and this guy was sleeping on my porch. When I took the second picture I was almost close enough to pick him up, but of course the door was closed (and it would have been a rude awakening).
