My wife took the Metro line/LRT from downtown LA to Santa Monica and back this week. It was almost deserted but she had no problem. She had to pay $2 for a Metro card, then paid, wait for it, 35 cents for a one-hour ride. That's the seniors, off-peak rate, but something's wrong.

My iPhone slipped out of my pocket at a downtown Los Angeles Starbucks this morning. I didn't hear it hit the ground and could have easily lost it. But two people in the store yelled, 'Mister, your phone' and jumped up to get it. Thank you! @DiscoverLA

Just realized I moved from the SF Bay Area to Los Angeles 50 years ago to attend college at UCLA. I love coming “home,” but where the hell did the time go?

Nice seeing Molokai's Pāpōhaku Beach on this AARP list of lesser-known beaches in Hawai'i. I've been there many times and never seen more than 10-12 people on a 3-mile beach. Great choices by my friend Susan B. Barnes | travlin' girl. aarp.org/travel/vacatio… AARP
