Fishing at Redondo Beach, Southern California

 A beautiful day at the beach, but too unseasonably cold.  (Obviously, this was a scenario that took place long before the recent heat wave in the US)  What to do?

Los Angeles Chinatown

 On a cloudy day, I avoided weekday traffic going downtown by driving in mid-day, away from the crush of cars that happen before 9, after five, and any time between eleven and one when the lunch-time diners head out to the great eateries in Chinatown, Little Tokyo, or Olveira Street.  It's a weird of way of thinking about one's day, in terms of peak times for traffic, but this is LA, and one is licensed to exist between worlds that don't normally exist anywhere else.
