	05 November 2003 BICYCING IN L.A. Today I biked to work for the first time, climbing hills and cruising down quiet neighborhood streets for the ten miles between Santa Monica and West Hollywood. Most everyone in L.A. doesn't carpool...they just drive, alone, to work--and everyone is generally okay with this bizarre scheme. But that mentality makes it no surprise that L.A. people also consider biking to work to be some kind of freakish hobby of the exercise-obsessed. Anyway, my car commute takes 35 minutes, and the same commute by bike takes 55 minutes. I think the extra 20 minutes makes the time in the saddle worth it, especially along that sweet downhill on Wilshire towards Beverly Hills. Bzzzzzz.   Back to main 03 November 2003 LOS ANGELES APOCALYPSO. So I've been in LA for a couple months now, and how did my home state welcome me? Well: -- Schwarzenegger became governor. -- Wildfires turned the sky blood orange for seven days. -- A 3.6 earthquake nudged me at my desk. -- A lawyer got shot in broad daylight in front of a group of news reporters. And to top it off, the Sox lost their shot at the Series. If I'd stayed in Boston, I believe that: -- Schwarzenegger would have died. -- The hills would not be on fire. -- A lawyer would have shot a group of news reporters in the dead of night. -- And the Sox would finally win the World Series, lifting the Curse and causing the City of Boston to vanish overnight. LA is where the apocalypse will take place, says Nicki. She's right.   Back to main Archives. 17 August 2003 — 24 August 2003 — 31 August 2003 — 07 September 2003 — 14 September 2003 — 02 November 2003 — 09 November 2003 — 16 November 2003 — 23 November 2003 — 30 November 2003 — 07 December 2003 — 01 February 2004 — 08 February 2004 — 15 February 2004 — 22 February 2004 — 29 February 2004 — 07 March 2004 — 14 March 2004 — 21 March 2004 — 28 March 2004 — 04 April 2004 — 11 April 2004 — 18 April 2004 — 25 April 2004 — 02 May 2004 — 09 May 2004 — 16 May 2004 — 23 May 2004 — 30 May 2004 — 06 June 2004 — 13 June 2004 — 20 June 2004 — 27 June 2004 — 04 July 2004 — 11 July 2004 — 18 July 2004 — 25 July 2004 — 01 August 2004 — 08 August 2004 — 15 August 2004 — 22 August 2004 — 29 August 2004 — 05 September 2004 — 12 September 2004 — 19 September 2004 — 26 September 2004 — 03 October 2004 — 10 October 2004 — 17 October 2004 — 24 October 2004 — 31 October 2004 — 07 November 2004 — 14 November 2004 — 21 November 2004 — 28 November 2004 — 05 December 2004 — 12 December 2004 — 19 December 2004 — 26 December 2004 — 02 January 2005 — 09 January 2005 — 23 January 2005 — 30 January 2005 — 06 February 2005 — 13 February 2005 — 20 February 2005 — 27 February 2005 — 13 March 2005 — 20 March 2005 — 27 March 2005 — 03 April 2005 — 10 April 2005 — 17 April 2005 — 24 April 2005 — 01 May 2005 — 08 May 2005 — 22 May 2005 — 29 May 2005 — 05 June 2005 — 12 June 2005 — 19 June 2005 — 26 June 2005 — 03 July 2005 — 10 July 2005 — 17 July 2005 — 24 July 2005 — 31 July 2005 — 07 August 2005 — 14 August 2005 — 28 August 2005 — 04 September 2005 — 25 September 2005 — 02 October 2005 — 09 October 2005 — 30 October 2005 — 06 November 2005 — 13 November 2005 — 20 November 2005 — 27 November 2005 — 04 December 2005 — 18 December 2005 — 01 January 2006 — 08 January 2006 — 15 January 2006 — 22 January 2006 — 05 February 2006 — 26 February 2006 — 12 March 2006 — 19 March 2006 — 26 March 2006 — 02 April 2006 — 16 April 2006 — 23 April 2006 — 30 April 2006 — 07 May 2006 — 14 May 2006 — 21 May 2006 — 04 June 2006 — 18 June 2006 — 25 June 2006 — 16 July 2006 — 23 July 2006 — 06 August 2006 — 13 August 2006 — 03 September 2006 — 17 September 2006 — 01 October 2006 —
