I was suppose to be in LA right now! but the flight got canceled, they bumped me to a 12:30 flight... the guys I needed to meet with for work get off work at 2:00. meaning I would get to the job site as the were closing the gates. F that! I'll be driving down on Sunday. my friend will put me up for the night and then I will go to the job site early Monday. I should get my work done in time to be back for dinner on Monday night.

I'd rather fly the SD down instead of Southwest. the old Mercedes is more reliable.
