Hey Alex....Howzit? Now if we could only work bitchin' and boss into the the conversation we wouldn't seem like a couple of *hodads*!..["AJAX" is MY best friend from high school. Of course, we graduated before they had invented the ice cube]Alex and his wife taught at UCLA one winter. They rented a little shack which was built on a ledge of land perched above the Coast Highway. It was an amazing spot. Unfortunately, that was one of the winters when it rained and rained. The one weakness of the property was revealed when the steep driveway turned to mud and it was almost impossible to get a normal car around a switchback and up to the house. I always had to park on the highway and hike up to the house. By the time you got up there it looked like you were wearing mud bowling balls for shoes. I felt a bit sorry for them at the time. However it did'nt seem so bad when a few years later it REALLY rained and I opened my Sunday paper to discover that the ledge, house and all, had slipped and slurped down the hill and deposited itself in to the middle of PCH!

Wow, was that the gnarly springstorms of '82 (El Nino) that took out Santa Monica pier?
