Sometimes, life gives you answers

Back in October, I walked from my old condo to see the space shuttle Endeavour as it was getting ready to do its slow crawl through the streets of LA to its final home at California Science Center. That was the one and only time I ever walked down La Tijera to the airport. On the way there, I took a picture of what I thought was a garage door:

At the time, I was curious what the story was behind this, but I was there to see the shuttle, so I quickly moved on. Well, today, the LA Times had a story about the owner of the house to which this wall is attached. You'll see in the story, that he has added a grid to the chalkboard. I think I prefer the free form version better. People were so creative in how they expressed themselves.

It's great to get an answer to a fleeting question when you least expect it.
