Hope you all enjoyed restful, observant, and reverent Memorial Day yesterday! It's Tuesday, the start of this short workweek and here's the view on the coast.
A May Gray Day. Subtlety, yet again. Cool here. Diffuse. If you want to stand out today, Nature will not compete with this morning. Go to it!
I feel like a little local color myself today, so let me give you one side of a utility box at Normandie and Santa Monica. It appears to be a skater's tribute to his ride.

The Dodgers' logo's conception of LA permeates the consciousness of street artists. I doubt that it's all due to love of baseball. Baseball is seldom a theme of street art. In fact, I've NEVER seen a baseball street-art mural.
Dodgers marketing team, consider this a triumph of your ability to define the Angeleno self-concept on the streets!
Have a great week.
Love,
Pops
PS: It's unclear to me who might be the signatory and who might be the overpaint-haters, so I will leave this one unattributed.

Be truthful and frank, but be polite. If you use excessive profanity, I'll assume you have some kind of character flaw like Dr. Wong. Tks!
