Looks Kinda Grim

From the smoggy sunset you can tell that I'm still in Los Angeles. In fact, We're staying dnowntown in an area known as Koreatown for the next several days. Even when I lived in Southern California, I rarely ventured into the downtown area and wasn't even aware of Koreatown. This evening we had dinner at the food court in the FIGat7th shopping mall. I had the "Happy Hour Special" which was a cold, spicy soba (buckwheat noodles) with a side of tempura. Very tasty though they put the tempura in a to-go container so it started to get soggy just on the couple minute walk to a table.

After dinner, Bridget went to see the new Star Wars movie with her son and his girlfriend at the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood. A ritzy place with assigned seating and was complete with prop and costume displays (so I'm told). I'll just wait until it comes out on "video". I've been up since 5 am and didn't feel like staying up all night just to see a movie. I'm starting to sound like a cranky old guy.

PBC #17 is just another ride starting from Ballaine Lake. This has been one of my normal starting spots for the videos since, being a lake, it is in a low spot and probably a bit colder. The pre-dawn skies are wonderful and this could be called a typical Fairbanks winter day.

PBC #18 was a search around the perimeter of town for the temperatures being reported on the weather apps. I never did find it though maybe I wasn't paying attention.
