unlimited visibility…until l.a.

i have never seen it as clear as today, i spent the whole flight from oakland to l.a.x. with my book in my lap, glued to the window (and my polarized sunglasses were doing cool colorization things with the laminated airplane windows). until…my hometown. i have only seen one dirtier sky in my life, and that’s over cairo. (o.k. maybe mexico city). i’m sitting on the porch at bret and paul’s watching the ducks float along the canal, waiting for my brother to drive in from the grand canyon.
