Wow. The road is actually smoother after being stripped for repaving than it was before. (Yes, it was bad. A coworker called it off-roading)

Let there be dark

Gorgeous day after a rainstorm. I kept checking to see whether the San Gabriel Mountains had snow, but the clouds never quite lifted. Even at sunset only the lower slopes were visible…but those clouds made for some spectacular sunset viewing.
