lax

Well there's no wifi service at the Cathay Pacific gate, so I paid five dollars to post. Flying into LA I was reminded of something a history professor of mine once said regarding the influence that distance has on one's aesthetic appreciation. It went something like this: upon approaching a person, place or thing one can find themselves uttering 'My God, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Then once you've gotten close enough to discern the details, you retreat saying, 'Wait, um, no it isn't." At night, illuminated artificially, from high in the sky Los Angelos is breathtaking. Walking outside hfrom the domestic airport to the international airport, it's not so pretty.

I'm running out of time on my five dollar allotment. I feel good. I'll post as soon as I can.
