around noon. Hundreds of protesters holding homemade Black Lives Matter signs were on the sidewalks for three full blocks. Cars were driving by in each direction pumping their horns in enthusiastic support. My wife and I were amazed.

Very affluent area of the San Fernando Valley.

parking lot about 2 miles from the stretch of sidewalk with the aforementioned protesters. The deputies were chilling and chatting because there was no sign of trouble whatsoever.

I was in Hollywood in the early part of January having a peaceful Sunday with my family, who came from all over the Mainland, for a reunion.

I found Rod Serling's Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame & had my pic taken.

places to enjoy during the day and early evening. Many nice places to see, and a lot of them are free.

Aloha and stay safe my friend.
