Here's some things that I wrote on a notepad on Tuesday afternoon when I didn't have internet access.
Went to the Hunting Beach pier last night for dinner. At the end of the pier is a burger joint named Ruby's. One of those places that still pretends it's the 50's. I had a bluae burger, some onion rings, and a Black Forest malt (chocolate with black cherries). I remember that they spelled blue in the name of the burger oddly.
I ended up using the same taxi service the whole time I was in California. All three of the drivers were quite different. I forgot, four taxis. I forgot about the Sunday taxi. However, that driver wasn't of note. My Monday morning driver kept asking me if Boeing was hiring and mentioned that he had been looking for a job for a few months. He even showed me his student ID card. The other interesting driver I had was on my way to John Wayne airport. We had discussions on how sports were no longer competitive; seasons are to long, to many teams. We also talked about how cars in the south can run their air conditioners all year and never have a problem, but cars up north run them for a short period of time and overheat. Also about cars, if a car from the southern US goes up north it can't start in cold weather even when all the other cars can.
It's a good thing that I made it to the airport early. My original flight was canceled. I ended up making it on an earlier flight that was leaving in twenty minutes. This means that I'll make it to Seattle in just over two hours.
