Strangely enough, we were affected by the MTA strike yesterday to go to the
movies in Hollywood to see the special showing of "It's a Mad, Mad...World." We
like to take the subway from North Hollywood to Hollywood Blvd. and neither
Mary nor myself even made the connection that the strike, of course, affects
all LA public transit, including our beloved Metro. So, imagine our surprise
pulling up to an empty park-n-ride lot and making the connection right there that
it's not just the bus that ain't runnin'! We drove to H'wood and made the
movie just in the proverbial nick.

As for the grocery strike, we stocked up at Ralph's the Friday before the
strike started and will replenish via Costco and Gelson's as needs arise. I'm an
ex-Retail Clerk and I have some reservations about the timing and reasons
behind this strike, but I'll still support their right to do it and not cross any
picket lines.
