This is why I take public transit:Long journey from San Clemente to Burbank (I know, not the most practical use of the metro system). Had to take 4 busses. While waiting for the 92 in downtown LA, the last leg of my trip, saw a row of tents lining the sidewalk. This is at 6th and Los Angeles. Found the stop for the 92 and waited. A couple of young white guys were strolling towards me. Using every bit of my mental faculty to convince myself that there is no reason whatsoever that I should feel out of place, I looked up just as they were passing in front of me side by side. The one closest to me, with a taller more confident stature made casual by a baseball cap, snapped his head toward me, shouted "BAM!", snapped his head forward again, and kept on walkin'. I must have looked out of place :)
