Happy Father’s Day! Hooray for family and when we get to see them again.

An interesting note about the street sweeping rules in Los Angeles is that the switch to first/third or second/fourth whichever day of the week of the month has created something I think is applicable this week. Tomorrow is the third Monday of the month, so street sweeping for the first/third Monday have parking restrictions tomorrow. But Tuesday is the fourth Tuesday of the month, so I think there’s no street sweeping on the same streets the following day.
Yesterday I missed GINGHAM, MAGIC, MAGI, MAGICIAN, MAIM, MAIMING, MICA, MIMIC, MIMING, MINIM, and MINING.
