I took a drive around town after meeting Chandler McWilliams at UCLA today. I went east on Wilshire to downtown, north up Hollywood to Mulholland Dr on which I drove west as far as I could. Rain poured, causing small rivers to run down the roads ascending the hills. The sky cleared by the time I reached Mulholland, allowing me to enjoy a hike around Runyon Canyon park. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, the rain forced the closure of Mulholland where it turned into a dirt road, and I was forced to return to Venice via Sepulveda rather than continuing on to Topanga.
