    a 14 year old kid was walking along the tracks listening to his ipod or whatever and didnt hear the train warning signal. the train hit him. he died. i have to say it non chalantly otherwise ill start to think(again) that i have a son the same age who always always walks everywhere with his headphones on.

    today i took the train out to long beach, wandered around a bit, took some pics, saw a sea lion and got to talking to a complete stranger. guess which one shocked me most??? :think:

    on the way back to my very cheap emergency accommodation in hollyweird i stopped off in watts to check out the towers built by simon rodia and now a national historic landmark.

    looks like im outta here tomorrow night for reals.. . after some very anxious moments.

    oh and can someone please tell me why does hollywood boulevarde smells like piss???

    because sometimes its the most direct route and your traintracks appear to be very open and available.

    and check this...



    the area where we hit the kid was an area where trains arent suppose to toot their warning signals cause its a snotnose area that cant possibly have its serenity broken by the occasional train horn.. yes kirkwood im talking to you. anyway the driver ignored that ridiculous rule, but to no avail.
