Frying Eggs in the Valley

It’s effin’ hot, son.

How hot? In the past hour, I witnessed one guy drive halfway through an intersection on a green arrow. Five minutes later, I saw two bald dudes wearing Polo shirts and pagers, arguing on the side of the road near Riverside & Laurel Canyon. They were both yelling. They were both pushing. They were both making asses of themselves. You hit me. Yeah? Well, you cut me off. Fuck you. Fuck you, too. Push. Shove.

Just minutes before all of this, I snapped the above photo from my car, for no reason whatsoever. It’s just a utility pole. It’s probably been there for years. Maybe decades. The guy that put it up is probably dead. I wonder how much of his life was wasted on stupid arguments.
