An entire life in Los Angeles and up until last Monday I’d never been to Simon Rodia’s powerfully and profoundly moving Watts Towers. With today’s group bike ride from the Cornfield and back I’ve been there twice in six days, only this time the Towers were open and I along with a nice-sized contingent of …
As I finish up my third consecutive week working here in El Segundo, I’m pretty pleased with my cumulative commute score of 6-6-2, which translates to six days driving, six days mass-transitting, and two days bike commuting. Certainly the less I’m crawling the freeways in my truck, the better. But still… I could’ve been a lot lazier …

But Even though I expressed a gung-ho attitude this week toward minimizing the mileage I put on my truck getting to and from work, I ended up only mass-transiting it once and biking it none. Yes, I drove to work four days this week and that’s disappointing enough to the degree that next week I’m …
