What did you accomplish today?

I usually dislike leaving my house (especially in the heat), so when I have to, I plan carefully to get as much shit done in the least amount of time. I went out yesterday to return some faulty shit to amazon, bring a few thousand cash to the bank for deposit, get some tasty take-out, and stop by the grocery store. Right after my first errand, a new mustang pulls right out in front of me while I'm going 40mph. I had no time to hit the horn, so I broke hard and dodged into the 2 oncoming lanes which were fortunately free of traffic at this time. Looked and sounded like a movie stunt, I missed that car by no more than 2 inches. I didn't get mad, didn't stop, didn't honk my horn, or even look back. I was surprised at my non-reaction. I've been in 3 car accidents in the last 4 years, each time my car was totaled and none were my fault. I think my reaction time is improving partly because I'm SO sick of taking a week out of my life to find another fucking car, so I'm really glad this turned out the way it did. Keep in mind, I rarely leave the house. Maybe there is a god...
I agree and it sounds like he/she has a real sick sense of humor.

Hi LA people- I lived in Winnetka for a while! The only thing good about it was this place called Brothers Sushi relatively nearby. I'll loop tyler.durden's harrowing adventure story in too and say that Chicago drivers are worse than LA drivers by a long shot. In LA people tolerate U-turns, in Chicago they intentionally try to run into you so they can file a lawsuit, and there are injury attorney billboards everywhere on the freeway in Chicago to prove it.

This was more or less the view out my front door in February of 16 and I have to admit it was nicer than in Chicago. Rent was more per month than my first car cost though and I got sick of everything costing so much. It's free to park in the Midwest you know. It was $30 just to park if you wanted to go out to breakfast in LA. Screw that. Flee. Get in your car, turn up Aenima by Tool, and flee.

I'm native Californian and LA is my home for better or worse. Thank you for leaving and for your public service message to leave. The natives are very appreciative for any efforts to lower the APG ratio here.

So I forgot to tell you what I accomplished today. I took down my HID lights and put up CMH. So far I like them. I put Phillips bulbs in them and the CRI is amazing. I'm running each of them for 11 hours with 2 hours of overlap on a 20/4 cycle for veg but will run them both at the same time for flowering. Right now the plants under the light that is off are getting almost as many lumens as they did with one 600W MH and the ones under the CMH that is on are getting about 3x the light.

I ordered some UV LEDs but they aren't in yet.

The takeaway from that for you then should have been to go to Brothers Sushi, and bear in mind that I'm only complaining about the cost of living. I completely avoided calling LAites soulless zombies wandering around on autopilot as is popular among musicians. I probably never met you though.

Takeaway sushi! What kind of a savage are you? That explains the ostracism.
