‘I keep staring at the billboard until it begins to blur and when my vision becomes clearer I watch as Blair's car glides out of the parking lot and becomes lost in the haze of traffic on Sunset. The waiter comes over and asks, “Is everything okay, sir?” I look up and put my sunglasses on and try to smile. “Yeah.”’

Tongva wisdom

“Let them tear down the compound tile by tile, let them destroy the walls and every adobe brick. It will not matter because the children of our fathers and our children and their children’s children will never be forgotten as long as the wind and the insects scatter the seeds that we planted together, The Gabrielinos will be remembered. What came from the giver of life we can not claim as our own. It is only ours to use, because when we try we destroy ourselves. “

-the last words of Tongva woman Victoria Reid, before dying in The San Gabriel Mission, from smallpox, 1868.

METROLINK Riding along the LA river and its iconic bridges on the Metrolink train

You can see that the LA River is a glorified storm runoff ditch. This is pretty much the entire watershed for the LA Basin region.

...in spite of anything Midwestern MAGAtards say lol -- apparently it's supposed to be full of endangered smelt (fish)? And whatever/everything is definitely Gavin Newsom's fault!
