Commuting Trials

After a NIGHTMARE commute yesterday--it took me about two hours to get to work--I can't say how exponentially more glad I am that today is a work-from-home day.

This is right by one of my bus stops... Right at the time I would be there. YIKES!

Bomb scare in downtown L.A.

The federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles was being evacuated this morning and some streets closed off as the police bomb squad responded to a report of a suspicious package.

Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman April Harding said that bomb squad officers were inspecting a black brief case that was left in front of the courthouse, which occupies a city block at Spring and Temple streets in the Civic Center.

Harding said Department of Homeland Security officials ordered the building evacuated shortly after the briefcase was reported about 7:45 a.m., and that the police had cordoned off nearby streets.
