Shortcut back from Glendale turned out not so short; it was after dark by the time I reached downtown, and I was exhausted. I took Brand Blvd. South; it became Glendale something-or-other, then after crossing the LA River I forked left onto Griffith something-or-other which became Sunset which became Cesar Chavez which took me to Broadway, where I turned right and went to 6th St., where the El Paso bus line is. Turns out no buses till 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. Damn. Came back to Chinatown, and am now at the Mayflower hoping to order the panfried fish for $2.99 if the waitress ever comes back for my order. Well, at least she brought my tea right away. And I already ate some nopal from that parking lot I mentioned a while back.
Turns out I could have chopped a few miles off that by forking left just before crossing the river; Glendale Blvd (or whatever St., Ave., it is) follows the same curving route, but a much tighter arc. Oh well, next time.
Talked to Hipbone this morning; the man's ignorance knows no bounds. He and I know that is the highest compliment one man can give another. I'll explain some other time; on battery power, and it's down to about a 15-minute lifespan from full charge to sudden death. Later d00dz.
