Far Out Scarf - Freeway Lady - LAVC [Valley Glen, CA]

A new addition caught my eye when walking with Truman around the
Los Angeles Valley College campus - it seemed familiar,
but had not been there before... A little googling went a long way.
It is The Hollywood Freeway Lady (redux) painted by muralist Kent Twitchell.

The Man on BMW Motorcycle [North Hollywood, CA]

LAPD has gone from Harley-Davidson Electra Glides
to the BMW R1200 - the CHP is going from the BMW to
the Harley-Davidson. Oddly enough both agencies cite
the same general reason for switching...
