Had my quickie meeting, which was basically just to introduce two people to each other. Then I headed over to Jerry's for a quick bite. That drive, which should have taken all of five minutes too twenty-five. As soon as I passed Laurel Canyon I could see that two blocks down the road they'd closed off the street, with fire engines and big machinery there - have no idea what was going on - I quickly turned around but instead of being smart and going north to Moorpark and then west to Whitsett, then down to Jerry's, I went south and came around to Whitsett that way - big mistake. It's one lane and it was backed up five blocks and it took twenty minutes to finally cross Ventura.
