On the Beach, in Los Angeles
I found myself on the beach in Los Angeles, in a howling windstorm that made the sky a funny color.
I love the beach in L.A. No matter how crowded the millions of people seem, and no matter how many of them choose to go to the beach, the beach is always infinitely huge and empty.
Just above the horizon, to the right of the lifeguard tower, is a Coast Guard HH-65C “Dolphin” helicopter, apparently rescuing sailors from a sinking ship, and making a gentle whining sound audible even at this distance.
As is traditional in L.A., one can’t tell if it’s a real disaster at sea, or if they’re just shooting a movie.
