Apparently about 100 minutes before I did my second jog last night at around ten after nine, there was a hit and run in Studio City - the victim was someone who worked regularly in LA theater and had in fact directed occasional dear reader Leslie's two kids - in fact, I saw one of those shows. In the reports, they had the plate number so I'm at a loss as to why the culprit hasn't been picked up - if they have the proper license number they certainly know whose car it is and where that person lives. The victim passed away this afternoon. The shocker, for me, is that it happened just right near Moorpark and Laurel Canyon, which is right on my jogging route. I jog from my house to Whitsett, up to Moorpark, east to Laurel Canyon and then beyond to Colfax. At nine-twenty, not quite two hours later, there was not a trace of anything - you would never have known such a thing happened. And several times this week I have jogged exactly at the time this happened and I'm here to tell you drivers are NUTS in this area with the texting and talking and paying no attention.
