As I was leaving late this morning I just had to stop to snap this expansive scene over Paradise Cove (that&#8217;s our neighborhood restaurant there on the sand just below our house, where I&#8217;m found any time either of us is too lazy to cook). The grey clouds to the left became considerably darker as my trip progressed.<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled to speak on a panel discussion at a new music festival at Cal State Fullerton, I had a long drive ahead to the southeastern edge of Los Angeles. What would have normally been a tedious and dreary journey was quite the opposite. Through the windshield and the sunroof, I could gaze at impossibly black-grey, ominous clouds that threatened to burst open at any moment and yet somehow held their liquid. The drama on all sides was ten-fold what you see here; the hues of the clouds were so dark that I began to search for the beginnings of funnel movement. Had I not been on a stultifying series of unforgiving freeways, I would have stopped to take even more dramatic photographs. It was that beautiful.  Today was one of the very few times in a year when I would have been pleased for a long road trip across this bizarre metropolis to have taken even longer than it did.<font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/polstate.com\/?p=med\/alpha-blockers-and-viagra>viagra and alpha blockers<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.prairieheights.com\/?p=med\/acetaminophen-inurl-tramadol\/nl>tramadol inurl acetaminophen<\/a><a href=http:\/\/polstate.com\/?p=med\/11-2006-trackback-viagra-wp>viagra wp 11 2006 trackback<\/a><a href=http:\/\/canon-fodder.com\/?p=med\/12-2006-trackback-viagra-wp\/nl>viagra 12 trackback 2006 wp<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.xerraireart.com\/blog\/?p=med\/10-2006-trackback-viagra-wp\/nl>2006 viagra trackback 10 wp<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.brimur.com\/?p=med\/2003-daily-feb-online-statistics-viagra>feb online daily statistics viagra 2003<\/a><a href=http:\/\/apehouse.prevuz.com\/?p=med\/abel-book-com-guest-site-tramadol>site com guest tramadol abel book<\/a><a href=http:\/\/acchsvikings.org\/coach\/?p=med\/accepted-cod-tramadol\/nl>tramadol cod accepted<\/a><a href=http:\/\/acchsvikings.org\/coach\/?p=catalogue\/page677\/sl\/> Map<\/font><font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/www.xerraireart.com\/blog\/?p=search\/4-payday-loan-about-apr-6\/nl>payday 4 about loan apr 6<\/a><a href=http:\/\/ggreportblog.com\/?p=search\/4-personal-loan-loan-payday\/nl>payday loan loan 4 personal<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.lostworldmuseum.com\/?p=search\/40-link-loan-payday\/nl>loan payday 40 link<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.samizdat.com\/blog\/?p=search\/401-k-loan-limit>401 loan k limit<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.sms4u.name\/?p=search\/8-2-mortgage-loan-lculator\/nl>lculator 8 loan mortgage 2<\/a><a href=http:\/\/12horas.setimadimensao.com\/\/?p=search\/9-9-faxing-loan-no-payday>9 faxing loan no 9 payday<\/a><a href=http:\/\/szymczyk.foxnet.pl\/wordpress\/\/?p=search\/9-payday-auto-loan-13\/nl>payday loan auto 9 13<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.marriageadvice.com\/marriagecounseling\/?p=search\/9-payday-loan-payday\/nl>payday 9 loan payday<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.marriageadvice.com\/marriagecounseling\/?p=catalogue\/page697\/sl\/> Map<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
