loving some rain

i like to imagine that when it rains here, all the filth of LA and Hollywood comes gushing down Wilshire and Santa Monica Blvd towards the bay. All that grime and hogwash then empties into the currents of the world, landing in places we would never expect. Before it jumps the cliff though, it accumulates and leaves behind what i like to call the Ocean Ave Slick. This phenomenon is treacherous.
the slick is devious, not only because of its ability to drop even the most hardy soul, but also because it does not reach maximum slickness for weeks after it has last rained. the runoff of roads, yards, businesses, and sweat is easily observed on Ocean Ave. I have succumbed to the Slick myself, and have watched numerous unfortunate incidents besides. it's a tough lesson to learn. happy Thanksgiving
