Forsake the Freeway — I-5, California

City StreetsIf you’re going to make it in Southern California, you need to embrace the fact that teeth whitening is a way of life here and so is the freeway. Southern Californian’s worship their freeways in the same way that the Incas worshiped the moon, or Potsie worshiped The Fonz. The freeway is all powerful and the magic portal to all things. If you need something, anything, the freeway and only the freeway can give it to you. If you forsake the freeway, then you are lost and will have nothing but tacos, donuts and liquor. This is a maddening proposition for a guy from a town with a handful of blinking lights and who doesn’t know where he’s going most of the time. To me the freeway is the “dirty look and honk out your anger” hour. But with the music loud enough and dark enough sun glasses on, I can ignore most of that.
