Feeling much better this morning. I have been so tired, even six and seven days out from the chemo, and I was a bit concerned. Today, or at least right now, I am feeling much more like myself.
Today is Earth Day. Our lovely city and the Wilshire Center improvement district has decided to close Wilshire Blvd. near my house to all vehicle traffic to hold a street fair. Today, apparently, is a 'car free' day here in Los Angeles... yeah, right! By closing down Wilshire, a major, major traffic artery, all day, they are re-routing traffic through the surrounding neighborhoods - mine included. Already, at not even 7am, I can see there is significantly more traffic around my house. And it should get worse as they day goes on. I can't even imagine how frustrated drivers will be when they realize Wilshire is closed... So in order to create the illusion of a car free day, my street and neighborhood will have to absorb a lot of Wilshire Blvd.'s traffic; we will get more cars, more polution, both air and noise, and angry drivers. This, my friends, is a load of crapacola : ) I wish someone had thought this through better; at least do it on a weekend!

Hi Ben,
I'm so glad you were feeling better yesterday and I hope that that's true today as well.
There needs to be more deep
thinkers around like Ben Levinson to do away with the crapacola (a perfectly fitting word) in solving
and not causing traffic chaos on Earth Day and all days, political chaos and you name it.
Love you,
Phyllis
