So we’re looking for a truck. After much analysis, we had thought we’d get a relatively small-sized Toyota or Nissan, but then after talking to a few people (mostly my dad), we’re now thinking about something bigger. Yesterday, we drove a Dodge 2500 diesel (ok….a lot bigger). It was really big. I’m not sure I can see myself really driving something like this. So now, we are back to square one about the whole thing. Big or small? Diesel or not? Japanese or domestic? I can find online reviews and friends to support every possible option (and to say that every possible option would be a big mistake.) I have no idea.

The truck place we went to was in Studio City (on the much dreaded 101). The traffic was really awful, and it look us almost 2 hours to get home (causing us to miss yoga…we did, however, go to the gym anyway. 24 Hour Fitness and great sushi afterward….this would be a part of LA I love.). The drive was really LA at its worst. Then some maniac got behind us (and then in front of us…and then behind us…he was all over) frantically flashing his lights and swerving back and forth between lanes or just in our lane…basically wherever he could go. He was one of these guys who thinks that if he acts badly, everyone else will just get out of his way. Yeah, the idea is that we’re all standing still in horrendous traffic for hours, but we’ll let him go ahead for some reason. This would be a part of LA I hate.

Brad has a theory that people aren’t meant to be this packed together and they act like caged wild animals when they are. Yes, I’m ready to go.
