#12...LA? WHY THE HELL AM I HERE...
That is a very good question. I took off from Chicago in 1992, was just 'done', sold all my stuff -packed my little white honda crx with as much as I could, including my 3 foot stuffed moose who rode in the passenger seat and whose antlers were hanging out of the sunroof, and hopped in the car and drove to LA, somewhere around Utah, I met up with a trucker who I met at a site seeing spot, he handed me a fresh rose, in the middle of nowhere...he offered to take me and my car the rest of the way in the back of the semi...cuz he said I was speeding and cops are out. I declined politely said I would see him in Vegas....20 minutes down the road...I got pulled over for speeding! hahaha
The semi drove by and honked, laughing at me...I caught up with 'Toby' was his name, somewhere on the border, callled ahead to a friend in Vegas, gave him trucks license number and said if I'm not there in 24 hours call the cops....then I had him load up my honda crx into the back of the semi and I hopped in front of the cab and we drove the rest of the way together.
It was platonic, and great to have company other than my big moose, we made a documentary of sites and trip and learned about each other...very cool. He unloaded my car in Ontario CA, we thanked each other for the great company and adventure, I got in my car and I drove on to LA. Never saw Toby again, but he was a great person! really was.
Thought I would be in LA for a couple years, it's been like 12~
Time to go....heh. I'm ready to head back east, maybe NY.
I hear there are a lot of cool webmasters there too
But my daughter, (I'm a single mom) has a commercial agent and LA is where that stuff is at so thought we'd test it out...
speaking of, she has an audition for Wells Fargo commercial in an hour so I will be back to answer the rest
