Hi all you poor suffering Los Angelians,
	I was one of you for four years until 1991 and I remember
well the daily ritual of map minding and slumping over steering
wheels for hours on end .   "Book Soup" had a hilarious comic 
strip type surface street traffic guide availale when I lived there.
Phone them up .  I'm sure they remember it.   Traffic must be even worse 
than what I remember because Olympic, Third and Fountain weere greaT 
eAST /wEST alternatives at that time.   Did you catch Dan Rather's 
stupid questioin during the "Juice Run " om Friday night?   Ten minutes after 
they passed into Westwood he was asking if they had already passed the LAX exits yet.   Connie Chung wasn'yt much better  (sorry, when I make typos
I can't correct them because I don't have a Pico editor that works).  
I remember how the favourite topic between strangers was how to get from A to B.
Things have'nt changed.   I was lucky to miss the riots and the fires and 
earth quakes.   Do you see more people communting on 'blades' and using bicycles
these days?
	Kind regards,
			Woodchuck from Canada's English capitol - Ottawa.
