When you pay up, like all the rest of us, then you get a say.

I guess the religious don't like having their faith tested by mundane inconveniences, but how strong can one's faith be if it's stifled by temporary parking restrictions?

This may be the year I finally run LA.

If this goes into Santa Monica and messes up traffic around my place, I'm not going to be happy. I used to live in Crestview, and one year my wife and I left our apartment to go out to eat, but could not get back in because of the marathon. The next year, the route went by THE END OF OUR BLOCK and we were prisoners in our own place for about 8 hours. I hate the marathon. Sh*t sh*t sh*t!

I'm glad it'll be back in March and glad it'll be on a Sunday, and I'm interested in the point-to-point concept to the sea. But there's talk about the marathon ending in Santa Monica, and something about that just ain't fittin'. Tom LaBonge would take credit for the sunrise, and he probably has.

I'm really starting to become a sort of fanboy for La Bonge. He supports bikes in the city, acknowledges that the Eastside is located East of Main Street, and sees the beauty of running to the sea on a cool Sunday in March. Yay!

Unlike other businesses they don't get a benefit from hungry throngs watching the race like the restaurants and others do. Lost revenue always brings about a complaint about marathons and similar events. And reduced attendance at church means reduced $$$ in the collection basket.
