I left the tranquility of Orange Grove RV Bakersfield. The hills before LA cause me anxiety. I came here years back to do my FLEX exams. I’d graduated paychiatry but to get the American license had to do my general medicine preparation. Fortunately I’d practiced family medicine and public health but was anxious about the basic premed sciences biochemistry and kidney. I passed those exams.
Next time coming back was Disneyland with a friends child. Fun times. I loved the holograms. Then I was back again passing through to San Diego in the mini. I drove through with the mini at night before I knew I had cataracts and the glare was unsettling. Then I drove through in the day and it was as easy as today. Last time was the truck and camper while this time was the first go with the new to me 2022 Thor Hurricane Motorhome
The road was so broken up it was like the corduroy logging roads but it settled out. I got in behind a big truck in the serenity lane. I was then in the LA traffic and my passenger mirror had come loose. I’d had to pull across 4 lanes to get to where I could stop and tighten the screw. Then I was here.
The place is incredible camp. Reminds me of the fellow I knew who did his condo in western Pee Wee with all the kitch accouterments. Here they have the signs like Rodo Drive, Sunset Blvd, Route 66, pink flamingos, and antique police cars, mannequins talking in red British phone booths. It’s incredible. Creative. Alive. Hollywood.
She told me she wrote for movies. It had brought her from Florida. She saw the name of my motor home was Hurricane. She’d seen a lot of those, she said. I’d told her I ‘d solo sailing through one in winter in the pacific. I felt blessed to have survived so saw Hurricane as name, positively
She’s going to phone me an Enterprise. They’ll come and pick me up. Just around the corner. 5 minutes. Car rental. Love it.
Steve’s assistant , a good looking famous cop look alike from the 80’’s guy helped me set up . They have their own sewage hoses. I just had to pull out my water hose and 30 watt electrical connector. He directed me into this spot. Steve told me my neighbour was a friendly guy who ‘d done sound in the movie industry 35 years. the woman behind me was a psychiatrist working in addiction too. A friendly interesting place. Reminiscent of the character in a W. Sommerset Maugham tale.
It’s all so exciting. I’m down for a few weeks now. . Rather than a loving God I often think I have of God as Coyote, like Cato in the Pink Panther series. Inspector Custeau, Peter Sellers, wanted to be prepared at all times so had his assistant attack him when he least expected it. With all the crashes in my life I’m praying daily for protection and safe passage. And I’m here. Safe and sound. It’s always a pleasant surprise to me even if it’s more and more the normal .I’m very thankful . LA traffic is exesssive. I’ll be glad to driving a small car rather than this behemoth.
I texted Laura of my arrival. I sent a picture of the site and Thor and Madigan. She’s with her sister over the weekend then flies in to LA 830 am Monday. I’m going to enjoy the company. .
I love the air conditioning here though the heat outside is perfect. T shirt and shorts weather.
Thank you God. Thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus!!@!
