Riding around some more. The weather’s nice, warm and humid enough to give the air some mass, it feels like Florida. I was coming back up from down by USC along Westlake. Along one block near MacArthur Park were at least 40 latino teenagers hanging out against a few walls and stoops. Every last attractive girl had a baby with her, that was kinda funny.

Then I got up to the intersection with 7th and there was a big mural of a latina making out with a soldier in desert camo, and I was like “well, this is like two thirds of the way to making some kind of point right here”.
