We're on a side street w/ cops flying overhead

Cops can fly in LA? Seriously? How could I have missed that? Or, umm, helicopters?

Never mind, don't answer - I'm having a really cool mental picture right now. Relax and enjoy the flying cops. I know I would.

Totally bawling.

We seem to have another vehicle.

Awesome!

Well...Andi hasn't see it in daylight yet.

I paid $385, haggled down from $500 for a POS 1993 Ford Aerostar panel van that used to be an auto parts runner.

The muffler is separated, it has no interior, save for two bucket seats up front.

It has heat and presumably air.

The engine seemed to run without missing or knocking, and the thing went into reverse in that bulletproof truck sort of way.

you want irony? The kid I bought it from has a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am he's fixing up.

The dome light needs replacing or I would have noticed the radio was gone. Oops.

you know how there's one really drunk girl at every wedding? At my wedding it was the bride. I don't remember anything after my new father-in-law gave me that flaming shot of Jack Daniels.

Ah! Gotcha. I have been to neither street fair, so I can only conclude that I an deprived and need to visit the West Coast.

GC, I know someone on LJ who I think might be near you guys. She said the Sunset end of her street was one of the staging areas for the Prop 8 rally. Do you want me to try to get in touch with her?

Glam, darling woman. You're going to be okay. When DW wakes up, call a cab. Or call the cab now; tell them the car is broken and you need a ride. By the time they get there, DW might be awake.

Sure, cops in LA can fly. The really reliable jet packs haven't reached the small towns in the middle of the country yet.

Oh, cops can totally fly in LA. They don't mention it in movies because no one would believe it.

Vampires with souls? No problem. Cops that fly? NSM.

Halstead Street Market Days is in Chicago. In the first municipally recognized gay neighborhood in the world. Is it truly awesome.
