If it helps good.
Better than roasting in sweltering heat needlessly.

Apparently basic physics was removed from the CA curriculum years ago.

To make the homeless feel like they live on the beach.

Sounds like a good thing. I’m not sure about painted streets though. I guess it depends on how they do it. My stepfather painted their driveway and it gets really slick when it rains. Our roads are mostly concrete, which is white enough I would think.

Okay, just read the article and it says it is CoolSeal, which passes the skid test and allows traction on wet roads. I guess it’s a good thing.

I'm painting on a six-pack in a bid to combat Easter candy.

Oh, they're at the beach. Believe that. I've seen them even in Malibu...and I'm barely allowed in there myself.

In Santa Monica they generally hang out at Palisades Park which is right above the beach.

Just have your gut "identify" as the stomach of a finely-tuned athlete at age 22. That should work too.

Hey, great idea! As soon as my gut stops identifying as a tapeworm, I'll give it a go!

Of course Fox "News" would report on something in an ongoing effort to convince their drooling viewers that only crazy people believe in science.

I'm in Alhambra. Not as lowly as you but obviously we are all peons looking up to the West Side crowd.
