This morning I got my smog check for my car's registration. First time since I bought this car in 2013. They only make you check older cars. Here is some classic bay area scenery, in the waiting room of the smog check place.
Education is extremely important.

In 2019, Mrs. George and I were going to do a West-Coast loop. Chicago to LA on the Southwest Chief for a couple of days, up the coast to San Francisco for a couple of days, and then back home on the California Zephyr.
We started talking about what to do in Los Angeles, and, frankly, I couldn't come up with anything I'd like to do.
We ended going to Denver instead.

Wow, that is pretty ugly for a California mechanic's waiting room.
Here is a picture of the waiting room at my mechanic here in Virginia.

I'm just a little surprised when these places have upholstered dumpster-sourced furniture with 50 years of accumulated dust, when they could get some new plastic chairs for $50.

Wait, you’re still bringing your vehicle to Herndon-Reston Transmission for service?

@Horace the recliner - it is a recliner, right? - in the corner is a nice touch.
Also, tell me about the stains on the blue plastic chair. There was no odor, was there?

I should have included more of the other recliner in the other corner. I think it was the worst of the bunch. The whole place had an estate sale attic feel. It didn't smell bad though. And the proprietor was nice. Good experience, would go again.

What’s worse than LA? Flying home from LA during summer vacation season.
I left the hotel this morning at 6am local time, it’s 8pm and I’m still waiting for my bags at EWR.
