Description


In Germany it's called the Autobahn. In Britain it's a Motorway. Here in California they are known as Freeways. We give them names like the Santa Monica or Harbor but they are also numbered. With apologies to Randy Newman and his excellent "I Love L.A."

Crawling down an L.A. freeway. Big nasty traffic jam in front of me. Cars boiling over, people getting upset, as far as the eye can see. Roll down the window. Scream at some clown. He just cut me off but I won't let it get me down. I'm going to tail gate 'til he just can't take it no more. From the Westside to the Eastside. From the 110 to the old 405. Everybody's so unhappy 'cus the freeway's backed up all the time. Looks like another perfect day. I love L.A.

Took the 405 freeway south to visit the stepmother on Saturday. Halfway there the freeway becomes a parking lot. Car A runs into Car B. Car B catches fire. Another perfect day in Los Angeles.

Oh man. I lived down there from September, 1980 to April, 1981, and this situation is embossed on my brain cells as if it were yesterday! I'm sure it's worse now, although I don't know how it could be.

Hopefully the people involved were not critically injured.

I have 'put out' dozens of these in my time as a fireman - this brings memories flooding back.
