chase the light

“Just take the subway to…” Never thought I’d hear that in L.A. George was in town for the holidays from New Zealand. We hopped the Metrorail from Hollywood Blvd. over to Universal City to see “The Lord of the Rings”. It was playing on the IMAX screen. I’m now a fan of L.A.’s subway. It’s weird though, the whole thing is on the honor system. You buy a ticket, but there are no gates or ticket takers anywhere. There is a huge fine though if you can’t produce a ticket. It cost about three bucks for a round trip. In the parking lot of Hollywood and Highland was an original Humvee. How Volkswagen ever had the guts to manufacture this car I’ll never know. I’m thinking it kinda suits me though, it’s just the right amount of chic, geek and simplicity on four wheels. This car would absolutely kick ass if it was painted with zebra stripes.
