As various Corner and NR and NRO folk head this way, I thought I might impart a little local knowledge. First, if you are on the road, the red octagonal sign that indicates a full stop elsewhere in our great land, here is best seen as a suggestion to consider slowing down. Treat others drivers as brakeless runaway trains, and they will do the same to you. Second, you can get a ticket in Santa Monica for driving while talking on a cell phone. In the rest of the city, you can get a ticket for driving while not talking on one. Third, the only place really worth visiting for a meal is In’N’Out Burger. There are secrets to their menu that only locals know. Jonah, your order goes as follows: “Four by four, animal style.” You will be happy. Finally, when you meet a famous person, and you will, you have your choice of opening gambits. Many celebrities enjoy standing around while you try to guess their name, or you can go straight to “Hey, didn’t you used to be…” But I find the real money is in telling them “I loved you so much when I was a kid.” Cybill Shepherd, I think in particular, will respond to that one. Have fun, then get the hell out!
