Driving in the rain in Los Angeles can be treacherous. We've had a series of rainstorms in L.A. during the last few weeks. Most of the year our streets are dry. Driving on rain-slicked streets filled with months of oil collected from passing vehicles makes for a lethal gumbo!

I've been taking the L.A. Metro train to work this week. Yes, I did get a bit drenched on my walk from the train to my office, but at least I avoided slippin' and slidin' on the freeway! Safe travels this weekend, my friends!
